Safety is an important concern for the cyclist, especially if you’re going for a ride in the night. While the traffic surely reduces, and the roads are all yours, speeding cars, dark alleys can be a nuisance. In such cases, being able to see and being seen from all directions is equally important.
At times, in spite of your bike is equipped with lights might just not be enough. Needless to say, if you happen to ride on dark roads, wearing the best bike helmet with lights can make all the difference.
Recently, we were contacted by haloglow helmets from the UK to review their best bike helmet with lights. The helmet is unique and comes with integrated LED light all the way to ensure visibility from all directions 360 degrees.
