Hi, it's Amy, your Western Direct interactive host.
We're down at Vicious Cycle today, here in Jasper, Alberta.
I've got my mountain bike, and I'm ready to go. All I need to know now is how to be safe out there.
What do I need, Dave?
-Well, Amy, if you want to be safe you need a good helmet.
What we have here is a wide variety of helmets to fit a whole variety of heads.
So, basically what you're looking for is you want a helmet to be snug on your head.
-Okay. -Not too loose.
All helmets come with an adjustable system on them, so why don't you try this one on?
-Sure. -And then I can fit it for you.
-Alright. -To make you safe.
-Okay. -Perfect, so it's looking good.
It's not sitting too high on the head.
And, if you just want to turn around, I can just turn this for you. -Oh!
Okay, I can feel that! It makes it feel nice and snug! -Looks good too!
-Anything else I need to know?
-If you wanted to, you could get into some gloves.
So, if you do take a tumble, at least your hands are protected.
And, also they do give a bit of protection for vibration. -Perfect!
Well, being a novice rider, I do need gloves. Fantastic. -There you go.
Now, safety concerns with the helmet. How often do I need to replace my helmet?
-You should look at replacing the helmet every 2 to 3 years.
Becuase they do end up breaking down through the UV light.
-Okay, good to know. Fantastic. Will do. -Yeah.
I'm already to go here, you guys. We're going to hit the trails from Vicious Cycles here in Jasper, Alberta.
