As reported in our last email Update, Gina Gallant of Prince George, B.C., Canada has designed a helmet that uses LED's to inform the wearer when it is fitted correctly. Fits you 3. Has a rounded, smooth exterior. Has no more vents than you need. A few of the better ones were identified in the 1999 Consumer Reports helmet article, but most models on the market this year were not tested for that article.
Details are in a long article on our Web site .
But Tennessee Says No to Extension Maine became the 16th state with a helmet law during 1999. The Maine helmet requirement was contained in their Bicycle Safety Education Act, and covers all riders under 16. The helmet must meet the CPSC standard. There is no fine associated with non-compliance, but a police officer can stop an unhelmeted rider and provide them with bicycle safety information and info on where to get a helmet. Municipalities are apparently permitted to go beyond the state law, at least for the education provisions of the act.
