Helmet Fitting Checklist
Level - The helmet should be level on the
rider's head.
___ Rim barely visible - The front rim should be barely visible
to the rider's eye
___ Y below the ear - The Y of the side straps
should meet just below the ear
___ Snug strap - The chin strap should be snug
against the chin so that when the rider opens their mouth very
wide the helmet pulls down a little bit.
___ Skin moves a little - Move the helmet side
to side and front to back, watching the skin around the rider's
eyebrows. It should move slightly with the helmet. If it does
not, the fit pads are probably too thin in front or back, or
the helmet may even be too large.
___ Stablilizer snug - If there is a rear stabilizer,
adjust it until it is snug under the bulge on the rear of the
head.
___ Palm test - Have the rider put their palm on
the front of the helmet and push up and back. If it moves more
than an inch more fitting is required.
___ Shake test - Have the rider shake their head
around. This can be fun. If the helmet dislodges, work on the
strap adjustments.
___ Ask about comfort - Ask the rider if the helmet
is comfortable and check to make sure there are no comfort issues
that still need to be addressed.
___ Be ready to switch - Not all helmets fit all
heads. Be prepared to use a different helmet if the one you are
fitting just will not work for this rider.

Should my child's bike have
reflectors or a light?
Both. Reflectors and a light are very important,
especially when riding at dusk. Reflectors should be on both
wheels, and on the back of the seat. A light can be mounted on
the handlebars. Keep in mind, night riding is not allowed in
Ohio unless a bicycle has reflectors and a light

CNN.com/technology, Adam Baer,
3/2/2007 - TOP OF THE LINE TOYS FOR HIGH TECH TRAVELERS "I
love to take bikes on trips -- especially to popular cyclist
cities like San Francisco or Seattle.
But next time I plan to pedal from North Beach to The Haight,
I'm definitely going to have this new electronic hybrid bike
with me.
This is just one in Schwinn's new
stylish line, which flaunts a "Plug'n Drive" system
that also gives me the chance to enjoy 60 miles of power-assisted
pedaling with each four-hour charge.
Enough to get me up that crazy
hill separating me from another urban discovery, and just the
right impetus to use my ozone-destroying car less."
Domino Magazine, March 2007 - "Bona-fide
"cruiser" lines plus an innovative battery that takes
you 60 sweat-free miles - this is an easy-breezy alternative
to a car."
