Bike helmets exist to absorb the force of a crash before it reaches the rider's head. Fit, ventilation and ease of adjustment all affect whether a helmet gets worn consistently, and a helmet that isn't worn can't protect anyone.
Consumer Reports tested 13 bike helmets for impact absorption, fit and ventilation across road, mountain, urban and youth styles, so riders of any age can find one that protects them and fits their ride.
