Should I leave my motorcycle helmet chained up to my bike?




Martyn


Hi. I have recently bought a Honda cg 125 and wondered if when parked in a multistory car park, whether it is safe to chain my motorcycle helmet to my bike? Many thanks


Answer
Some motorcyclists have bumped cars and knocked car mirrors off. Hence, some car drivers do not like all motorcyclists. When they find a motorcycle without a rider around, no one watching, the helmet is stolen and tossed into the trash -- pay back for getting their mirrors broken. Slicing your helmet only takes a second more, and your will helmet be cut and still tossed into the trash.

If you want to keep the helmet, keep the helmet with you.

If you cannot keep the helmet with you, lock it inside a lockable hard top box.

can bikes have review mirrors?

I know it's a silly question but I'm new to biking (not motorcycles I mean regular 10 speed biking) and I get nervous riding in traffic (although law in my state says I have to and cannot be on the sidewalk). What makes me most nervous is going around parked cars or piles of leaves in the bike lane since I can't see what the cars are doing behind me. I'm not confortable turning around because I'm so new to biking I'm afraid to take my eyes off what's in front ot me. Can a bike have a review mirror? Where can I buy one?


Answer
It is absolutely not a silly question!

Bikes come with handle-mounted review mirrors, but these are dependent on whether your handles/wheel are straight or not. (If you're going around a sharp bend, the mirror becomes somewhat useless.)

They have neat little mirrors that attach to your helmet, which you should be wearing at all times anyway (and these days *not* wearing a helmet makes you look foolish, as opposed to the opposite, back in the 80s lol).

They come in many shapes and sizes. Here is an example:

But I would look for a more rectangular one that is slightly convex so you get a wider view of what's behind you.
