Helmets and dates

[MomOnBike]

Surely sweat & heat & sunlight & Gatoraide and Gawd-knows-what-all does interesting things to helmets. (in addition to the fumble-fingered dropping that nobody here is guilty of ) Isn't that why we should replace helmets every now and again?

Since the helmet in question is safely in the LBS, nestled in a box, we can assume that it hasn't had those assaults. I'd buy it.

Well that does it.
I was always taught to listen to a Mom. Especially one on a bike!

And if the date is on a bike, you should both be wearing your helmets, for protection, you know... (another mom!)

And here I thought we replace 'em because we get tired of having a blue helmet, or a red one, or a purple one, or whatever!
