What are the different types of bicycle helmets?
Several types of helmetsAdult bike are available on our store.
But how to choose a bike helmet among all our models?
As with any equipment, the choice of bicycle helmet depends on your own needs. Some road bike helmets are better suited to speed, others to night trips with integrated LED lighting, while driving off-road, 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 behind when going out cycling.
How to choose the size of your bike helmet?
A helmet that is too large and does not fit your head size does not provide effective protection in the event of a traffic accident. This is why it is important to choose a bike helmet adapted to your body shape of his skull.
To know the head circumference and obtain the right size for a road bike helmet or for any other type of bicycle helmet, a tape measure can do the trick to take the measurements simply of the head circumference. If you don't have one available, a simple wire placed around the head can replace it. Then simply place the wire flat on a measuring ruler.
Depending on the different brands of helmets, it is necessary to take the measurements well of your head size in order to purchase a perfectly adapted model.
The average head circumference or skull circumference of an adult is between 50 cm and 60 centimeters. With this information, you can choose the brands of road bike helmets best suited to you. To be effectively protected, there should be no space between the shell of a helmet and your skull.
Also remember to renew your helmet after a significant impact. A helmet that has already suffered an impact will likely have 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 from Weebot!
Once the size has been selected, it is essential to wear your road bike helmet properly. To do this, the helmet must be installed horizontally in order to cover the forehead as well as the back of the head. You must then tie the strap sufficiently so that it holds well in place without going over the chin, nor being too tight in order to be able to turn the head correctly.
The new trend for cycling is pushing bicycle helmet manufacturers to renew themselves and offer models combining style and safety. The bicycle helmet is also a fashion accessory revealing your personality.
