Boston bike helmets

Use a U-lock as your primary lock. Cable locks should only be used as secondary locks to secure wheels. Lights and reflectors help others see you at night. At a minimum, you should have:. Most lights come with mounts that make it easy for you, or others, to remove them in a few seconds. Always take your lights with you. A rack and bungee cords are a simple way to carry items on your bike. Increase your carrying capacity by adding a crate or basket to your rack. Keep your belongings in sight, put your rack or basket up front.

Panniers and other bike bags provide additional security and prevent your belongings from bouncing around. Waterproof bags also prevent your things from getting wet. Seat bags fit right under your saddle and are the perfect size for carrying basic repair tools. Never hang bags, or anything else, from your handlebars. If you do, the item may become caught in your spokes and cause you to flip over. Fenders rest above your tires and prevent water, mud, or other debris from splashing onto you.

Skirt guards prevent fabric from getting caught in your rear wheel. They are especially helpful if you wear long skirts or jackets while biking. Chain guards prevent your clothing from getting caught in the chain. Alternatively, you can roll up your pant leg, use a velcro strap to cinch your pant leg, or tuck the bottom of your skirt into the waistband. A bell provides an easy way for you to alert other people of your presence.

A kickstand will allow you to stand your bike up without leaning it on something else. They can be installed on your handlebars or helmet. Puncture-resistant tires help prevent flats. There are also other products that can help make any tire more durable. Stickers and other decorations can help make your bike your own.

Everyday biking does not require any special clothing. Helmets have long been plagued by an unspoken rule: Light weight, ventilation, aerodynamics—pick two, there's your helmet. As you can tell by now, though, we don't play by these rules—or really any for that matter. We'd rather turn standards on their head and create products that nobody ever dreamed of. And you needn't look any further than the new S-Works Evade helmet for proof of this.

Straight up, it's the fastest road helmet out there. This increase in vent surface area has allowed us to more than double the cooling capacity of the new Prevail II Vent compared to the original Prevail II. So, even on the hottest climbs in the most humid conditions, you can grind away, assured that the S-Works Prevail II Vent is keeping you cool and performing your best.

When combined with our iOS or Android app, the sensor will detect a crash and send a text message to specified contacts in your phone.

Your new helmet even includes a lifetime subscription to the Specialized Ride app. We've added perforations, along with a ripstop mesh to maximize breathability and performance. MIPS SL's minimalist watchband attachment system provides 10 to 15 millimeters of rotation in every direction and offers the same brain protection benefits as other versions of MIPS, while also ushering in a new level of comfort and weight savings.

These same features that bring you unprecedented cooling also amount to six seconds saved over 40km in the Win Tunnel when compared to a standard road helmet.

Additionally, the new updated, perforated MIPs SL pad kit keeps moisture moving and allows for even more breathability. When we set out to improve the original S-Works Prevail, we knew that we had our work cut out for us.

How could we improve on the industry benchmark for fit, ventilation, and comfort? By listening to our riders—that's how. Through this, we realized that there were a few aspects of the original Prevail II that needed to be changed, with the biggest request being for a lower-sitting design. We thought to ourselves, "thinking big shouldn't result in bigger helmets," so with the Prevail, we set out to prove that big ideas can come in smaller packages.

It all starts with our patented EPS construction that relies on multi-density foam that's paired with a robotically woven, Aramid-reinforced skeleton. This comes with a reduction in the overall size, creating a smaller profile that fits lower down on the head for a better fit and safety. It also has deep internal channels that are aligned from front-to-rear, so the air intake and exhaust are optimized for unparalleled cooling over the entire head. In the Win Tunnel, we found these new designs amounted to six seconds saved over 40km when compared to a "standard" road helmet.

Another standout feature of the S-Works Prevail II is the Gutter Action System that manages the flow of sweat, keeping it away from your eyes and dripping it off of the pads over your temple.

In the end, the S-Works Prevail II is the most complete lightweight race helmet we've ever made-perfect for hot, mountainous rides and flat, windy sections alike.

If a helmet has been involved in a crash, it should be discarded and replaced. Not all damage may be immediately visible from the outside. Anyone injured in a bicycle accident — helmeted or not — should contact an injury lawyer to learn more about his or her legal options.
