So many people are now biking! It's such a great way to get exercise, enjoy the great weather and social distance all at the same time. A helmet can’t prevent bike accidents but it might keep you or your kids from taking a trip to the emergency room. Plus, a helmet helps to make you more visible and prevent a small accident from turning into a major problem!
Three quick tips to stay safe:
1) Make sure the helmet covers the back of the head and the top half of the forehead.
2) Helmets should fit snug to the head (always get a helmet with an adjustment device on the inner frame if possible for better fit!), and not fall off or slide around during movement.
3) The chin strap should be snug to the chin, leaving room to put two fingers between strap and chin - the strap should NOT put pressure on the throat!

Good news! All helmets sold in the United States have to pass the same CPSC safety inspection before they can be sold - this means that no matter the price of your helmet, they are all able to protect your head. However, helmet pricing often reflects improved features such as lighter weight, better ventilation, and generally more comfortable material. Many athletes who are spending more than a couple of miles on their bikes choose to invest in higher price point helmets because of how much they increase the enjoyment of the ride.
