Thank you yoshi, lakewoodwife, and amok for reminding us about the importance of helmets for our children and for ourselves. Thank you haifagirl for the reminder to wear them correctly!
If anyone is unsure of the proper way a bicycle helmet should fit, see the following link from the Bicycle Helmet Safety Institute. It is “How to Fit a Bicycle Helmet” :
This site also has a lot of good information about helmets like statistics and research, ratings of different types of helmets, and FAQs about helmets (examples: Where can I find a helmet for my big head? Is a cheap helmet as safe as an expensive one? What about my bald head?) Very interesting!
