Bike helmets

Cycling is generally not considered a high-risk activity as long as you stay away from trick riding and jumps. However, most experts agree bike helmets must be worn to ensure safety. Most deaths that involve bicycles come from a collision with a car and a helmet is essential to prevent head trauma.

Bike helmets used to be unpopular in large part because they were not stylish. Not so anymore. Today's helmets combine lightweight materials with inventive and stylish design.

When visiting your local bike store to peruse bike helmets, make sure you get appropriate advice on size. In addition, you need to be shown how to adjust the helmet so that it fits you properly. Wearing a helmet that is not adjusted correctly can be almost as dangerous as not wearing any helmet at all.
