As paved roads grew more common across the U.S. and Europe, bicyclists started to suffer gruesome skull fractures and other serious head injuries during falls.
Pith helmets were far from what we would consider a helmet today, but they persisted until the early 20th century when bicycle-racing clubs emerged.
Over the decades, people have used a wide variety of materials to protect their heads while biking, and companies continue to develop new and innovative materials.
The initial concept for the halo helmet used leather which allowed for better airflow and comfort for the cyclists, although it did offer limited protection.
