When should you replace an old bike helmet that still looks to be in good shape

A bike helmet is an essential piece of safety gear that can help protect your head in the event of a fall. But even if your helmet looks to be in good shape, there are some cases where it's important to replace it.

After a crash. If you've been in a bike crash, your helmet may have sustained damage that you can't see. Even if the damage is not visible, the helmet may not be as effective at protecting your head in a future crash.
After 5 years. The materials in a bike helmet can break down over time, even if the helmet is not used. It's important to replace your helmet every 5 years to ensure that it is still providing adequate protection.
If it doesn't fit properly. A bike helmet should fit snugly on your head without being too tight or too loose. If your helmet doesn't fit properly, it may not be able to protect your head in a crash.
If the straps are damaged. The straps on a bike helmet are essential for keeping the helmet in place. If the straps are damaged, the helmet may come off in a crash, which could lead to serious injury.
If the liner is damaged. The liner of a bike helmet is designed to absorb impact and protect your head. If the liner is damaged, the helmet may not be able to protect your head in a crash.

Can I use a bike helmet that is more than 5 years old? No, it is recommended to replace your bike helmet every 5 years, even if it looks to be in good shape.
What are the signs that my bike helmet needs to be replaced? If your bike helmet has been in a crash, if it is more than 5 years old, if it doesn't fit properly, or if the straps or liner are damaged, it is time to replace it.
How often should I clean my bike helmet? You should clean your bike helmet regularly, especially after a ride in wet or dusty conditions.
How do I store my bike helmet? You should store your bike helmet in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
What is the best way to dispose of an old bike helmet? You can dispose of an old bike helmet by recycling it at a local recycling center.
