Fourth of July parade bike

The annual Fourth of July parade was a big hit again this year.  Lily was very interested in decorating her bike and used a whole roll of tape to attach the flags. Her helmet still doesn't fit quite right.  (Bike helmet company please design a better fitting helmet for CI users)  In the mean time, I need to take a hammer and chisel and adjust the foam inside just a little, unless anyone has a better recommendation.  

This is the first summer Lily has been riding her bike, so she still has her training wheels on.  Stop and smell the roses and ask a bunch of questions is more to her liking than get to the next place in a hurry, so the training wheels help as we amble down the road talking about everything.

I sat in that sports talk at AG Bell. They said that Adidas makes an adjustable helmet that forms around the head and works well. I guess you tighten it after it is put on. We will have to start looking to locate it! Better yet, maybe we should start contacting bike helmet companies to just make one for CI users...I'll get on that! ;)

There is a CI football helmet so I dont know why this wouldnt be a great product as well. Get on it. Ill look for the Adidas helmet. We now have a skateboard helmet

We went to a professional bike store and purchased an adjustable helmet. They had a bunch of different ones and we just tried them on until we found one that worked.

We did this but must of been the wrong store with limited
Options. They all seemed to have the hard foam where the implants are

Helmets are for nerds. Let those who ride decide! ;-)
