The Bicycle Helmet is a light cycling helmet. It is protective gear for the head, worn in the Hat slot. It gives some cover against bites and scratches and a little warmth.
Its strength is that it costs almost nothing to wear. Sight, hearing and attack speed stay the same, and it never falls off. Its weakness is protection, which is far below a sports or military helmet.
The Bicycle Helmet is found mostly in survivor safehouses. Homes and garages hold one only rarely. The Tailor is the best occupation for protective gear. It starts with the most Tailoring skill.
Wearing
The helmet stops about 30 percent of bites and half of scratches on the head. A Batting Helmet or a Military Helmet stops about 70 percent of bites and 80 percent of scratches. The Bicycle Helmet is a stopgap until one of those turns up.
It keeps the head a little warm and blocks a little wind. It suits cool, dry days. It adds only a small amount of discomfort.
The helmet leaves vision and hearing clear. That makes it a fair choice for scouting, where seeing zombies early matters more than armour.
It shares the Hat slot with caps and other helmets. Full head helmets, raised hoods and full suits clash with it.
Locations
The Bicycle Helmet is an uncommon find. Survivor safehouses are the main place to look. Their dressers and wardrobes hold one most often, and their boxes and crates now and then. Mid game safehouses keep fewer. Bedrooms, closets, garage crates and storage units turn one up only rarely.
