Bike Helmets in Nigeria

And a lion’s share of them (oh, forgive me such choice of words) just can’t afford a brand new US$100 helmet. So they have to improvise. Photos by Oluniyi David Ajao. Nigerian bike helmets

    The first pictures is obviously posed as there is a perfectly good regular helmet on the front of the handlebars. In fact, it looks new.
