The fact of the matter is that every day bicycle helmet save the life of people. There are the most important piece of

safety equipment a cyclist can wear, and as the time changes, the bicycle helmet continue to evolve and to be made to protect cyclist.

People did not always  wear the safety equipment if they are in cycling for a long time like in many other sports. Cyclist begin to wear helmets in the 1970s. This is because when the bicycle was invented until 1970s bicyles were regarded as childrents toys. So, the bicycle helmet not too usefull. For the most part, an adult in American only ride a bike only in bicycle racing. And in that era, the bicycle helmet only offered minimal impact protection for cyclist.

The first modern bicycle helmet has developed in 1970s when numerous adult in american used a cycling as a form of recreation, exercise and even comuniting. The oil crisis of that era made bicycle a fairly attractive option from a financial stand point. This surge in popularity led to the development of first modern helmet. The shells of these bicycle helmet were of hard polycarbonate plastic.

The problem in that era is bicycle helmet had little ventilation and this problem continued until the in-mold microshell technique was invented in the early 90s. This technique can created bicycle helmet in more complex shapes which allow to make a larger vents and better air flow. And this technique became dominant in industrial worlds.

Since the inventiion of in-mold micrishell technique, designer continued to make a better shape and capabilities of bicycle helmet.The improvement of bicycle helmet

included advances in fitting and retention system too. The early bicycle helmet had thick pads that cradled the head, but modern helmet did not have so it can be adjusted to fit the users. This also made the bicycle helmet much lighter and warm. Additionally, some more advanced bicycle helmet models feature carbon fiber inserts that make the helmet more stong and and increased it protection capacity.
