and NO im not riding my bike while im pregnant



Answer
Believe it or not, but I found small kids helmets that even had a DOT sticker at Wal Mart. They were full face and I picked 2 of them up for $15 each. I found them in the bicycle section; not sure if they were mismarked or what; but they were a great deal. I just gave them away recently to a neighbor kid who is just starting to ride. You can also check at a bicycle store. With the popularity of BMX these days, I would bet they have good helmets as well. Good Luck with your little knee dragger!!

Why are bicycle helmets so huge?

Q. Jeez, I put one on my Grand Son and it was as big as he was.
What happened to the day when a kid threw on his jeans, T shirt and tennis shoes and jumped on his bike?


Answer
Fake

Those kids all died off from head injuries! :-)

I was one of those kids. Yes we survived. But, cycling today is much different than the cycling we did. We cruised. Todays cyclists ride, do tricks, jump, at speeds, and distances beyond anything we ever dreamed of.

My kids rode in infant seats over my rear tire. I would not ever conceive of them in that seat without a helmet on! When they were really young the helmet was so large because it was all foam, this to keep the weight to a minimum. As they got older, the plastic shell and better suspension systems followed. Their bodies grew and it became a little more proportional.

Well grand dad. Get him on the back of your bike or in a trailer and ride! It will do you both good!

Have you noticed that we are much different than our parents? Most of our parents as 'grand pa's' could barely move. I am riding, ref'ing, and running all the time. What a difference in the quality of life in just one generation!

Get out there and enjoy!
