Edgey Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Hey all,Im wondering if anyone knows of some good places to get a Helmet in the North West. Preferably with discounted stock/sales/end of lines.I'm located in Manchester and all I know really is the Hein Gericke shop, another bike shop over the road near there. And then the Yamaha/Ducati stores in Manchester but they dont do much in the way of discounted helmets, Havent been into HG yet though.So as a summary, any pointers on good, cheap and also helpful places to buy helmets, as its mine and my mates first helmets we would possibly need some buying pointers on fitting etc.Thanks for any contributions.

For budget priced helmets steer clear of HG and look instead at the independent small dealers. Take a look on http://www.yell.com or similar for addresses etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakeatron Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The HG in preston has lids from £80 up - you cant get much better than that for a decent brand from a decent retailer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 As for fitting, a good fit is imperative. A good shop should steer you through this minefield though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 If the bicycle riders in your family are wearing helmets. It is good for you. But, they may only be getting half the protection that helmets could offer them. You need to make sure that their bicycle helmets fit properly. Riders whose bicycle helmets don't fit right then it is risk for serious head injuries, compared with those whose helmets fit properly.*links and advertising removed* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
