Safety is key for cyclists. Hence, it is wise for those who
seek to buy bikes on BikesDirect.com to ensure they also
have helmets. Before trying on a helmet, you should look
for a Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC)
sticker on it. All helmets sold in the United States need
to meet the conditions that the commission set.
Subsequently, you should ensure that the helmet fits.

3. Bike Helmet
• Examine yourself in the mirror and check that the
helmet is sitting level. If it tilts so far backwards that it
exposes a large area of your forehead, it will offer you
little protection. Assuming the helmet fits your head, you
should tighten the chin strap so that you can just about
fit your index finger in the space between it and your
chin.
Afterwards, you should adjust the side straps until the
bottom points of the V shapes they create are just under
your ears. Try to move the helmet backward and forward
on your head. It should only move an inch or less in
either direction. If it moves further than that, you should
continue adjusting the side straps.
