Sonic bike helmet

What is this shit?

After tearing through environments at breakneck speeds, our favorite hedgehog whores out public safety, even though he’s way too cool for helmets and would never, ever be caught dead wearing one.

WTF?

Playing it safe is not something Sonic is really known for. Why should we have to protect our fragile skulls and brain matter if Sonic is known for snowboarding down steep roads without any pads? Who says we can’t bike on the freeway unprotected while Sonic vaults over cliffs with nary a concern? Sonic’s one extreme dude, and we’re pretty sure that wearing his official bike helmet is a sure way to dishonor him. We promise not to disappoint you, Sonic. Please visit us in the ER.
