John Lloyd, Helmet Expert (roundtable discussion)

Season 5 · Episode 101

Monday, November 10, 2025 • Duration 01:34:18

Many of us put on our helmets every day to go ride, but we never really think about how effective they're going to be at preventing traumatic brain injuries. That appears to be all John Lloyd thinks about; after testing hundreds of helmets, he's arrived at some fairly startling conclusions. He relates his study in this discussion with Mark and Wes Fleming, host of the podcast Chasing the Horizon.

DEBUT EPISODE! SOME DAY: Trying to quantify the return on investment in motorcycling is a fool's errand. Even for those who regularly ride vast distances, and therefore enjoy a far lower cost-per-mile, most of the benefits of being a motorcyclist evade any objective accounting.
