I’ve hosted some biking events with friends/youth groups/family and one thing I make clear is show up with a helmet or don’t show up at all. With the caveat that if you don’t have one, I have extras and will provide one if you need one, and I have bought helmets for people before because they couldn’t afford one.
I don’t care how you feel on your own rides, just wear a proper helmet. Or you don’t ride with me.
As for fashion, my partner and I have matching helmets that match our usual riding gear, and i made them a 3d printed unicorn horn to stick on their helmet that immediately got stuck on and now I have to promise to make a new one for every new helmet they get. Personalize your helmet and who cares if it’s fashionable.
