Safety apparel
Many nations around the world, and their internal states, have strict requirements regarding
safety devices and their use in cycling. It is your soul responsibility to nd out what these
requirements are, in each and every state or nation you cycle and then follow them.
Helmets
‘If you don’t need a head, you don’t need a helmet’.
While not all nations and states require cyclists to wear approved protective headgear, we at
Optima strongly advise you to do so. Try to nd a helmet which complies to Snell, ANSI and
government safety requirements. Simple amoebic intelligence states that it is best to wear a
helmet (passed by these authorities) whilst cycling, whether the law requires it or not.
Many serious and fatal bicycle injuries could have been either reduced or avoided had the
cyclist been wearing a properly certied helmet. Your local bike store should have a range of,
or at least be able to order, helmets which suit your needs.
For more information on helmets, please contact your dealer or a local bike store, they will
be happy to supply you with a helmet.
Eyewear
Any cycling involves airborne bugs, dirt and other objects that are just waiting to get at your
eyes. Higher speeds can also make ones’ eyes water and impair your vision. For this reason
we advise you wear sufcient eye protection, in the form of a quality set of glasses in all
conditions. Most sports and bicycle stores sell protective and fashionable eyewear.
Tip! To increase your vision in all weather conditions,
we suggest you buy a good pair of sports glasses, with
interchangeable lenses in at least one dark colored lens and at
least one amber, clear or yellow lens.
Caution! A correct helmet should t properly, and be fastened
securely according to the instructions of its manufacturer. A
good helmet will protect according to Snell, AISI or stringent
government regulations. Failure to wear a good helmet correctly
could lead to serious injuries or even death, which may have
otherwise been avoided.
