Easy Steps to Properly Fit a Bicycle Helmet
The National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has provided us with a DOT approved document on the proper fit steps and safety knowledge facts of bicycle helmets. It's not enough to simply buy a bicycle helmet, it should be properly fitted, adjusted, and worn each time you ride.
A bicycle helmet can protect your head and brain ONLY if you wear it each time you ride!

Spin or Indoor Trainer?
As with any fitness equipment, the old adage "if the shoe fits, wear it" actually has some practical value. If a piece of equipment meets your training needs, can be adjusted to "fit" your body frame and mechanics, and does not cause pain with use, it may a great choice for you. Spin bikes have simple construction, an upright, metal frame with adjustable handlebars and seat. They operate by adding or reducing resistance to a heavy fly wheel on the front or rear of the bike. Spin bikes can provide a high level workout, do not require much floor space, can be adjusted in numerous ways to fit the rider, and cost around $1000+. A moderate-speed workout for a 150-pound cyclist burns approximately 480 calories/hour.
