"many states require a DOA certified bike helmet"

Ouch, I don't want one.

Yikes.... I definitely don't one one.

Heck I had an oncoming truck throw a rock from one of his dual tires and hit me in the ear below my 1/2 helmet this morning on the way to work. Luckily I had the triangle ear cover there, but it still felt like my ear was bleeding....
