What should Public Safety Cyclists consider about the fit of their bicycle helmet?

A well-fitted bicycle helmet is crucial for the safety of Public Safety Cyclists. It must fit snugly on the head without being overly tight so that it can effectively protect against impacts. The helmet should stay in place while riding, providing comprehensive coverage for the head. An adjustable helmet allows for personalization to fit different head sizes and shapes, ensuring that the retention system can secure the helmet properly during use.

While visibility and comfort are important factors in cycling, they do not take precedence over the fit of the helmet. A loose helmet, though comfortable, can move during an impact, compromising its protective capabilities. Similarly, extra padding for warmth might affect the proper fit and function of the helmet. Thus, the focus should always be on the helmet fitting correctly and being adjustable to accommodate any variations in head size or shape for maximum safety.
