Replace the helmet if it has been involved in an accident or if the buckle cracks or if a piece breaks off. It's a good idea to put reflective tape on your helmet or bike if you are going to be riding in the dark so others can easily see you.

Wearing a helmet will greatly reduce your risk of serious injury if you are in a biking accident.
