I have seizures as a result of boxing injuries. I refuse to drive with seizures even if they are controlled with meds. Thus I am getting into cycling. I am a foster adoptive parent, with 3 wonderful kids, and an amazing wife.

Ask Pinkbike: Helmet Fit, Tire Picks & Teaching Teens
Not the best or safest helmet sugestion, but if you can get a second padding liner, then stack them, it will lift you helmet above your glasses. Did this with a A1 and spare liner to get buy for a while.

Time Capsule: 2001 - Pinkbike's 20th Anniversary
Bender on a bike for me, is like the Tony Alva, or Jay Adams, of skate boarding to my brother. Their influence is like a tattoo on our soles!

2017 Pinkbike Awards: Gear Accessory of the Year Winner
In five years this will probably be stock on all suspension products. I myself kind of like the wizardry and guru of making it all work with feel and tinkering. But I am old school, and have spent time tuning evil Amal carburators on old british iron with a sick smile.

Inside MIPS - Advancing Helmet Safety
I have brain damage, epilepsy, and dementia, from a long life of boxing. I have spent a lot of time on this issue for my own personal reasons. I currently believe that many different layers of different densities crushable foam that absorb impacts best related to expected events per use of a helmet is the best protection with current technology. Trust me, rotational brain impacts affected me as much as direct blows, and are not in any way less important to worry about. The problem is executing the protection. Mips is a step in the right direction, and I applaud all efforts. But multiple layers of different densities is possible today. Note- I am not a scientist, and wasn't a great boxer.

I have the A1 in silver metallic. Fits great, and everyone has a comment about the finish. Fun lid.
