Bicycle Helmets

Nearly one in eight injuries associated with mountain bike and street bike accidents involve a head injury, and over two-thirds of the cycling-related deaths in the United States are the result of traumatic brain injuries. (Source: Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute) When you consider that the indirect annual costs associated with preventable head injuries top $2.3 billion dollars annually, it's easy to see why a good dirt or street bike helmet is some of the cheapest insurance you can buy.

Giro and Bell are two of the most popular bike helmet brands for dirt, street, sport and mountain bike riding. Bell and Giro helmets not only meet and exceed Snell and ASTM certification standards, but products from both companies often top consumer product tests and comparison articles.

Whether you're buying a helmet for an infant, toddler, child or adult, sizing is a critical safety issue. Look for bike helmets that come with fit pads in various sizes and densities. Bicycling helmet fit pads won't absorb impact energy from a fall, but they will keep the helmet centered on your head for full coverage. While it's tempting to buy a cheap bike helmet discounted for a quick sale, never compromise the fit for the sale price. Kids tend to shake or bob their heads while riding bicycles and loose-fitting helmets can compromise the protection and even slip and momentarily block a young rider's view of the road or trail. To prevent this, verify that the strap fit is secure and proportioned for your child's head. Noting product concerns related to bike helmet straps in 1997, Giro revised their product line with enhanced strap buckle closures and adjustments to include cutting-edge refinements in sizing and safety.

After all, the bike helmet you buy today could be the life-saving bargain you remember tomorrow.
