Helmets, Tips and Quizes
Did you know that in a crash, the risk of head injury is doubled if the helmet is worn incorrectly? Correct fit is essential.
Do the "Eyes, Ears and Mouth" check:
1. EYES check: Position the helmet on your head. Look up and you should see the bottom rim of the helmet (one to two fingers above the eyebrows).
2. EARS check: Make sure the straps of the helmet form a "V" under your ears when buckled. The strap should be snug but comfortable.
3. MOUTH check: Now open your mouth as wide as you can! Do you feel the helmet hug your head? If not, tighten those straps!
Bike to Work Week/School Participating bike shops will check your helmet position too. Please, put it on, every time.
