When riding your bike, it’s always important to stay safe. A big part of bicycle safety is wearing a helmet - one that fits and is properly secured. Here are some steps to help ensure you’re wearing your helmet correctly.
• Make sure your helmet is the right size for your head. Your bicycle helmet should sit snugly on your head. If it rocks or slides when you move, it’s too loose and should be tightened.
• Always wear your helmet in the correct position. It should sit level on your head and low on your forehead, one or two finger-widths above your eyebrow.
• Check that the helmet’s side straps are in the right position. Each side strap should form a V-shape under and just in front of each ear.
• Tighten the chin strap until it is snug and secure. No more than two fingers should fit beneath your chin strap.
• Whenever you’re buying a new helmet, make sure that it fits well, and check to see that it has the proper health and safety certifications for your region.
These tips will help ensure that your helmet protects you as you train for MS Bike. Happy cycling!
