Review: Lumos Kickstarter Bicycle Helmet
I blogged about my new electric scooter, the Unagi, at this link and this link. I love it! But I failed to mention another gadget I got for the purposes of riding my scooter: my new Lumos Kickstarter Bicycle Helmet.
I’m convinced that wrecking (or being run over by a car) while riding on my scooter is what will either… Continue reading
