times this damage is not visible. For best results, clean the
helmet using a soft cloth or sponge, warm water and mild soap.
Storage After each use allow the helmet to air dry and then store in a
cool, dry place. Excessive heat can damage the helmet. Indirect
sunlight, dark gear bags and automobile trunks can get hot enough
to cause heat damage. Damaged helmets will appear to have
uneven or bubbly surfaces.
WARNING! DO NOT use heat-damaged helmets.

Safety Tips
• Enjoy bicycling. Ride safely. You are responsible for your own safety.
• Always wear your helmet, even on a short ride. Many accidents happen close to
home.
• Watch carefully for drivers turning in front of you. Drivers often report that they
never saw the bicycle or the rider.
• Wear brightly colored clothing.
• Obey all traffic laws.
• Don’t ride at night without proper lighting and reflectors. Watch for parked cars.
Doors often open without warning.
• Pretend you’re invisible. Don’t assume that automobile drivers can see you.
