What are the different types of bicycle helmets?

But how to choose a bicycle helmet among all our models?
As with all equipment, the choice of bicycle helmet depends on your own needs . Some road bike helmets are better suited to speed , others to night travel with integrated LED lighting , off-road riding , or simply urban cyclists wanting a practical and lightweight model.
It is important that the helmet you choose suits you so that you do not leave it out on your bike rides.
How to choose the size of your bike helmet?
A helmet that is too big and that is not the right size for your head circumference does not provide effective protection in the event of a traffic accident. This is why it is important to choose a bicycle helmet adapted to the morphology of your skull.
To know the head circumference and get the right size of road bike helmet or for any other type of bicycle helmet, a tape measure can do the trick to simply take the measurements of the head circumference . If you don't have one available, a simple thread placed around the head can replace it. Then simply lay the yarn flat on a measuring ruler.
Depending on the different brands of helmets, it is necessary to take the measurements of your head circumference in order to buy a perfectly adapted model.
The average circumference of the head or skull of an adult is between 50 cm and 60 centimeters . You can with this information choose the brands of road bike helmets best suited for you. To be effectively protected, there must be no space between the shell of a helmet and your skull.
Also remember to renew your helmet after a major impact . A helmet that has already suffered an impact will have a good chance of having its protective properties reduced. So never opt for a second-hand helmet without knowing its history. Instead, choose our new road bike helmets with free shipping at Weebot!
Once the size selection has been made, it is essential to wear your road bike helmet properly. For this, the helmet must be installed horizontally in order to cover the forehead as well as the back of the head . You must then attach the strap enough so that it stays in place without going over the chin, nor however being too tight in order to be able to turn your head correctly .
