Ensuring a Proper Fit :: A helmet provides great protection to a cyclist’s head but only when worn properly. It is important to always check the position of your helmet as well as the tightness of the chin strap before every ride. A helmet should be positioned across the forehead only 1-2 finger widths above your eyebrows. Wearing your helmet pushed back on the crown of your head will not provide adequate protection in the event of a fall. The straps should form a V-shape under your ears and only 1 finger should fit between the chin strap and your chin. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has created a great visual guide for ensuring proper sizing and fit. #BikeBatavia, #BikeSafety, #ShareTheRoad
