it has met safety standards set by either the
Snell Memorial Foundation or the Ameri-
can National Standards Institute (ANSI).
Good helmets range in price from about
$40 to as much as $70. That may sound ex-
pensive, but remember, the cost of even one
trip to the hospital is a whole lot more.

For Memorial Day nual Commo~
Regatta
After all, nobody's skull is hard enough
to do battle with a concrete curb or the side
of a car. So whether you're into serious bi-
cycle racing or just enjoy pedalling around
for fun, safety experts urge you to use your
head for something besides a battering ram.
In other words, wear a helmet.
With National Bicycle Helmet Safety Week
coming up May 15-21, cycling authorities
say most of the deadly and disabling head
injuries to young cyclists could be pre-
vented if everyone wore helmets. But they
also emphasize that bike helmets don't have
to be the uncomfortable, awkward, clunky-
looking headgear you may have always
thought they were.
On the contrary, today's new-look hel-
mets are stylish, lightweight, and actually
fun to wear. They come in a variety of bold
colors and wild designs. In addition to pro-
tecting your head and what's inside it, they
help keep you cool in hot weather and warm
in cold weather. And the world's top cycl-
ists—like five-time Olympic gold medalist
Eric Heiden, who never climbs on his bike
without his helmet—have proved there's
absolutely nothing "wimpy" about wearing
them.
Any helmet you buy should fit well and be
adjustable. Look for a sticker signifying that
dore Henry I.

ent Naval Air Station over Memorial Day
