Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

If you want to take the time to do it, why not?

Not something I would do though.

A friend of mine did that to his backpack.
He was doing it for added visibility but he also uses full battery headlights and dual taillights as well.
It looks cool but I wouldn't say it adds any safety.

..."drill/melt holes in plastic to pass the wire in and out"... No. Don't compromise the helmet's ability to do it's job.
