Helmets
It is strongly advised that a properly fitting, ANSI or SNELL approved,
bicycle safety helmet be worn at all times when riding your bicycle. In
addition, if you are carrying a passenger in a child safety seat, they
must also be wearing a helmet.
The correct helmet should:
- be comfortable
- be lightweight
- have good ventilation
- fit correctly
- cover forehead
Always wear a properly fitted helmet which covers the forehead when riding a bicycle. Many states
require specific safety devices. It is your responsibility to familiarize yourself with the laws of the state
where you ride and to comply with all applicable laws, including properly equipping yourself and your
bike as the law requires. Reflectors are important safety devices which are designed as an integral part
of your bicycle. Federal regulations require every bicycle to be equipped with front, rear, wheel, and
pedal reflectors. These reflectors are designed to pick up and reflect street lights and car lights in a
way that helps you to be seen and recognized as a moving bicyclist. Check reflectors and their mount-
ing brackets regularly to make sure they are clean, straight, unbroken and securely mounted. Have your
dealer replace damaged reflectors and straighten or tighten any that are bent or loose.
