How to be Gangsta while riding your bike

By RL Policar

All you’ll need is one accessory, and that’s your helmet. Most gangsta looks start with a hat being placed backwards, sideways or which ever would look hardcore.

With that being said, I’ve come up with a photo tutorial on how to look “gangsta” while riding. Why would you want to look gangsta? Well, everyone knows that looking good is just as important as pedaling.

Here’s a standard way of wearing a helmet, obviously not gangsta at all. This look says poindexter than anything else.

Below are the gangsta ways to wear your helmet.

Helmet to the side, and you have to do some variation of the West Coast Sign.

Helmet tilted down.

Helmet backwards.

Now that you know how to be gangsta, try it. You’ll see how much mad respect you’ll get from other riders.

    For a real ‘functional’ gangsta helmet look:

    *Remove visor and affix to the back, to the side or just over one eye.
