Bike Safety, Visibility, Helmets, and Ride Technology
Visibility equipment helps other road users notice you, but it does not replace predictable riding, legal lighting, or attention to traffic. Helmets and mirrors also need correct fit and placement.
Helmets and mirrors
- Measure your head for a bike helmet
- KASK Vertigo used-helmet safety review
- Choose a bicycle helmet mirror
- Helmet mirror vs handlebar mirror
- Attach a bike helmet mirror
Replace a helmet after a significant impact and follow its manufacturer’s age, care, and replacement guidance.
Lights and visibility
- Daytime bike lights
- Daytime lights vs headlights
- Mountain-bike lights for night riding
- Bike helmets with lights
- Mount a light on a bike helmet
- Fix dynamo bike lights
Aim lights so they illuminate the route without dazzling people approaching from the opposite direction.
