Even though it’s been way too scorching hot out there to ride my bike, I did go to the bike shop and buy a new bike helmet (thanks again, half-fast!) While there, I picked up the latest trail guide. Even though it has a price on it, this bike shop gives a copy free (with their label slapped on it.) This helmet is smaller and the straps adjust in a way that keeps it securely where it needs to be.

Lisa, I think you bought the same helmet I got last year, including the color!😀
Does it say “Bontrager” and “Solstice” the back?

Just checked, and yes, Bontrager Solstice is the helmet. Sounds like we are twins :)

Good investment Li. A well fitted and sturdy helmet is necessary. Enjoy

I’ve struggled with the ill-fitting one since I got it, thinking it was the straps, but it was just the wrong size. Can’t wait to try it out on a ride.

I need a helmet…I’ve never owned one even when I was riding regularly.

It is worth it. Even one fall can be disastrous without one. The other day when I was headed to lunch with my brothers, I saw a guy on a motorcycle laying in the road. He and a van or an SUV got into an accident. Thank goodness he had a helmet on. He was screaming in pain but he was alive and able to scream :(

Oh I know…when we first started I think about it because when I was a kid…I never had one. We got Bailey one…but this time we are getting them.

Well I ordered new tires for the bikes (I’m ordering intertubes next) and then it got stopped cold. Jen got laid off last Tuesday…so she is looking now. We are on a spending hold until she gets something. Her check is more of our “do things” money…we are fine but we want to be careful. She will get something pretty quick I think. I have the bikes in my music room working on them.

Sorry to hear Jen got laid off. Nice break for her. Glad the bikes in a place where you see them all of the time. I’m hoping to see you post you’re riding them by fall :)
