It measures about 6" X 2" and is for the forehead area. My local bike shop does not have it and Wal-Mart does not, either where I bought the helmet. I want an accurate answer. Thank you!

Many bike shop cary generic helmet replacement pads. Even if they are for another helmet, it is a low digit way of solving your problem. You just want it to be close to the same thickness. You can also make your own, Get the foam pad, and get some hook and weave material at a local materials store. I see at all the time at the car wash!. Attache the adhesive part after tracing the shape and cutting out the pads off the old pads. MAKE SURE YOIU USE TH RIGHT MATERIAL! One is hook, the other is weave (velcro) if you need to , you a put down new velcro on both the helmet and the pad!

bike helmet?

hi mum

i live in the uk and always see children wearing bike helmets but not their parents. this made me think that isn't that a bad example or something. can someone tell me why parents don't but children have to is it cost or appreance or something.

btw. i know some adults do but i am going with what i view as the majority of the british public.

Answer
I agree with you completely. Helmets are required for children where I live, but I rarely see adults wear them. I really think it sets a bad example for the kids.

Is it right to pass laws to protect people from themselves?

For example, should coffee be required to be labeled "may be hot?" Should small quantities of legal drugs (except antibiotics) be available without prescription for personal use? After all if a person abuses them, it only hurts themselves? Should adults be required to wear bike helmets and seat belts? These are just examples but I mean in general, are we that dumb and/or naive as a society that we need the government to protect us from ourselves?

Answer
That dumb and /or naive? Review the law suits that lead to the warning labels- yes people are that dumb as a society. Safety measures can be dispensed with if a mandatory insurance and organ donor policy is written into law- as Florida motorcycle helmets not required for insured riders. State doesn't want to pay for idiot mistakes- make a law and save a few more taxpayers to continue states revenue flow that pays lawmakers salaries. . .

What would a cop do if he saw a person riding a bike without a helmet on?

And I am 15, in Pennsylvania.

Answer
PA law says children under 12 must wear helmets when riding a bike as driver or passenger. Big Wheels are excluded. If found not wearing a helmet, the fine is $25 but it will be waived if the person buys a helmet. If you are 15 the law does not apply to you. Below is a cutesy little brochure I found online.

Why is it so bad when the government wants to protect it's citizens?

Hardcore l

I always hear people complaining about health warnings on tobacco products and alcohol, people complaining about government recommendations and calorie % on junk foods, and people complaining about bike helmet and seat belt laws.

ALL those laws are there to protect you; it's for the good of your health and safety; why is that so bad?

Answer
As an adult, I do not need or want a bunch of idiots deciding what is right for me. I am intelligent enough to make my own decisions and I don't appreciate them wasting my tax money to come up with more and more inane laws. They need to read the US Constitution and then use my money for the sole purpose of upholding it. The elected servants are no more intelligent than I am, they are no better educated than I am, and they are totally out of touch with the people who pay their wages. Ergo, they do not know what is best for me and my family.
