They're sincerely fun. I recommend getting a cheap MIPS helmet, as there are more protective than a traditional helmet to the type of accident you might find yourself getting into, or even go for a moto helmet. I also recommend bright colors, because pretty much the only thing an SUV driver can see is the top of your helmet, so a brightly colored bobbing head shaped object is going to get a lot more notice than something black and matte which seems to be the trendy style of the day.
Mips helmets can be found for as little as $50 or $60 online or even sometimes in bike stores, don't let some bike shop dude talk you out of a helmet with rotational protection, they can absolutely make the difference between getting a mild concussion and death from getting pumped by a car or even just a fall.
I just bought a radrunner with the passenger package so my wife and I can tool around town together!
Should be delivered soon! I'm excited.
