Abstract
A bicycle helmet adapted to be used with eyewear includes an impact-absorbing body, a resilient wiper, and an alignment feature. The impact-absorbing body has a convex exterior surface and a concave interior surface adapted to be positioned on a user's head. The impact-absorbing body further includes an aperture formed in the exterior surface and dimensioned to permit insertion of a portion of the eyewear into the aperture along an insertion axis. The resilient wiper is positioned at least partially in the aperture and arranged to engage the portion of the eyewear upon insertion into the aperture. The alignment feature defines at least a portion of the aperture and is oriented to guide the portion of the eyewear toward the resilient wiper.
