Why are bicycle helmets so huge?

Q. Jeez, I put one on my Grand Son and it was as big as he was.
What happened to the day when a kid threw on his jeans, T shirt and tennis shoes and jumped on his bike?


Answer
Fake

Those kids all died off from head injuries! :-)

I was one of those kids. Yes we survived. But, cycling today is much different than the cycling we did. We cruised. Todays cyclists ride, do tricks, jump, at speeds, and distances beyond anything we ever dreamed of.

My kids rode in infant seats over my rear tire. I would not ever conceive of them in that seat without a helmet on! When they were really young the helmet was so large because it was all foam, this to keep the weight to a minimum. As they got older, the plastic shell and better suspension systems followed. Their bodies grew and it became a little more proportional.

Well grand dad. Get him on the back of your bike or in a trailer and ride! It will do you both good!

Have you noticed that we are much different than our parents? Most of our parents as 'grand pa's' could barely move. I am riding, ref'ing, and running all the time. What a difference in the quality of life in just one generation!

Get out there and enjoy!

Where can I find an infant helmet for atv safety?




Girlz


I am trying to not only find a helmet for my infant but also a safety harness or something to make it safer for her where can i find this?


Answer
I don't believe that any company out there makes a helmet for an infant, short of a bicycle helmet that may fit. There is no company that makes a safety harness for infants, or a harness/seat belt of any kind for an ATV. Reason being, what if you need to bail off because you lose control? I know I would not want to be strapped to an ATV. I have only had to "ditch" once and if I hadn't, it probably would have killed me if I was strapped to it. To be candid, if you lost control and had to ditch would you want the infant strapped to it...pretty good chances your infant would be crushed, especially if you are looking at a roll-over or tumble situation. Many states have laws against passengers on an ATV unless it designed for that purpose (Polaris makes one for example) or vehicles like the Yamaha Rhino.

Long story short, you are looking out for your infant. If you are going "putting around" with her, get a small bike helmet unless the child has a large head, then you should be able to find a small helmet at a motorcycle shop. They make helmets for the little ones that race in the 50cc class, but those kids are normally about 5. Next option is get something like a Yamaha Rhino. You do not want to strap your child to the ATV.....Righting a rolled ATV isone thingg, but not with a crushed child attached to it. Sorry, I know it is not the answer you are looking for, but it is the truth.
