I bought a Bell Sweep bicycle helmet in the US, compliant to CPSC standards. However to race bikes in Australia it needs to comply to Australian Standards. Is it possible to gain an Australian Standard given that the Sweep helmets are approved in Australia?

Answer
Thats an interesting question. I suggest that you email Bell to see if a certificate is available.

Do I need extra padding for my bicycle helmet?

I bought a Giro helmet and it came with extra padding (4 extra small foam pads) that I could add if necessary, but should I? I'm trying to get into riding for fun now and I'm kind of lost when it comes to the equipment. If I do need it, where is the most important place to put the extra padding on the inside. The helmet I have is the Indicator if that info helps. Thanks y'all.

Answer
A good basic test whether a helmet fits correctly is if the helmet sits onto your head, not on top of your head like a little beanie. This helmet would be too small and you would either need a larger helmet or possibly replace thicker pads with thinner pads. The helmet is too big if your head is like a bell ringer inside a bell... lol. In this case you need a smaller helmet or thicker foam pads.

If you determine you need different pads, most likely you'll either replace current pads which sometimes are held in place with Velcro, or add the foam pads in convenient places inside the helmet, typically at the front by your forehead and the sides.
