Bike helmets that don't make me look dumb?

insanechil

I have a bike helmet that I always wear when I ride but it makes me look dumb.

Answer
Giro makes a nice line of helmets. I kinda like the Indicator or the Transfer - no sun visor.

Which looks more dumb - wearing a helmet - lying in a hospital bed comatose - or dead? Choice is yours. Personally, I wouldn't ride my bicycle 10 feet in the city without a helmet.

how many bicycle crashes happen without helmets?

Answer
I don't know exactly, but there are a lot of cyclist without helmets, so I'd think that some of those do fall off.

At a guess, it's probably about half of all cycle accidents occur when the the rider is not wearing a helmet.

The point is, that if you wear a helmet, you have more chance of getting up, and riding again, if you wear a helmet.

Bicycle Helmets.....?

RaLoh

We have 5 active children and they live in their bike helmets.... the rule in our house is "if it has wheels you had better be wearing a helmet". Bicycle helmets are required by Law here in NYS and it amazes me how many children come to my house without them. If they are at our home without a helmet they are not allowed on their bikes.

Is there a place I can contact for free bike helmets?? I would love nothing more than to make sure every kid in my town has one.... and wears it. Even though it is a law, it is not enforced, which kills me.

Thank you in advance for any information.

Answer
Contact some of your local bicycle clubs; I've seen some run fundraisers to donate helmets to kids.

But, sounds like these aren't "poor kids" but jsut that their parents don't enforce a helmet rule like you do. Why not just talk to Mom n Dad?

Or, you could go to any big discount store and find plenty of helmets under $20 each.

why don't they make a size 9 bicycle helmet?

where can i get one? I live on base and its a law!!!

Answer
maybe because size 9 is a very big head, it could affect your balance therefore preventing you from riding a bike. I'm sorry I couldn't help myself...that was mean and uncalled for I apologize. I never knew they had numbered sizes for a bike helmet. I always thought it was a small medium large type thing. Sorry I couldn't help.
