Not wearing a helmet increases
the chance of serious injury or
death in a crash.
Be sure you and your passenger
always wear a helmet, eye
protection, and other protective
apparel when you ride.

Helmets and Eye Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece
of riding gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet
should fit your head comfortably and
securely. A bright-colored helmet and
reflective strips can make you more
noticeable in traffic.
Leather gloves to help protect your
hands.
Sturdy boots with non-slip soles to help
protect your feet and ankles.
In addition to a helmet and eye protection,
we also recommend:
Additional Riding Gear
An open-face helmet offers some
protection, but a full-face helmet offers
more. Regardless of the style, look for a
DOT (Department of Transportation)
sticker in any helmet you buy. Always
wear a face shield or goggles to protect
your eyes and help your vision.
