More than one third of kids wear their helmet incorrectly.*

Most parents think that as long as their child is wearing a helmet, they've done their job. The truth is, a helmet that's not worn correctly may not protect the way it should. All the complicated adjustments have been made on our end so there's less tugging and adjusting to do on your end. True Fit goes on right-and stays that way. It's a new level of helmet protection. One that ensures true peace of mind. *Provided by Safe Kids Worldwide bell website is here

Any dyed-in-the-wool road junkie will tell you: Steel is real. It’s the most refined, resilient, lively frame material ever. It is the benchmark for ride quality. Granted, flyweight carbon and lightweight aluminum are tough to beat on race day, when weight and stiffness are paramount. But our steel bikes are perennial sellouts, and that’s because of the ride, because we know how to make them work.  Steel sings over pavement, with a resonance and springy liveliness that rewards crank-blurring spin-meisters and  big-gear mashers alike. Factor in our award-winning geometry, and it’s an unbeatable combo. Year after year. more here.... Editor's note: My little brother called me yesterday to tell me he picked up one of these for himself and his fiance. Looks like a nice bike for the price.
