A helmet like this would be better:

The helmet looks like an improvised wheelbarrow conversion.  I can't
tell from the photo, but there might some padding on top of the riders
head and perhaps a chin strap.  Notice the forward facing pneumatic
shock absorber (rubber wheel), which will provide additional head
protection against the rider flying over the handlebars.  The white
thobe is both practical and fashionable riding attire in some parts of
the planet:

Not a thobe -- two parts, trousers.  He's wearing a shalwar kameez,
perhaps in Pakistan or Afghanistan.
