When my girls were young we bought some of those kiddie seats that go behind the rider so they could ride with us, seemed like a good idea at the time (late 80's into maybe '90). Part of our regular ritual was to load them up with those giant white styrofoam helmets (from Toys 'R Us or somewhere) and we would all ride into town to eat breakfast at a local greasy spoon. Walked in one day with their helmets still on when the waitress asked why our kids wore bedpans on their heads! I will always think of that when I think about early helmets . . .

Today I wear a Giro, probably the cheapest one on Amazon that wasn't pink. I'm happy enough although may "upgrade" some day. My girls wear the same I think now that they are adults.
