Welcome to Cheap Helmet Ride Store’s FAQ section! We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions about our cycling products, delivery services, and customer support. If you can’t find what you’re looking for, please email us at [email protected].
Product Questions
What types of cycling products do you sell?
We specialise in a wide range of cycling essentials including:
- Safety gear (helmets, arm & elbow protection, body armour)
- Bike accessories (lights, bells, locks, pumps, reflectors, saddles)
- Transport solutions (bike trailers, child bike seats, cargo trailers)
- Action cameras and cycling-specific lighting systems
How do I choose the right helmet size?
We recommend measuring your head circumference about 1 inch above your eyebrows. Our product pages include detailed size charts for each helmet model. When in doubt between two sizes, choose the smaller one for a snug, secure fit.
Are your bike lights waterproof?
Most of our bike lights feature at least IPX4 water resistance (splash-proof), with many offering IPX6 or higher (heavy rain resistant). Check individual product specifications for exact ratings.

Payments & Accounts
What payment methods do you accept?

Is it safe to store my payment details?
We don’t store any payment information on our servers. All payment data is processed through our PCI-DSS compliant payment partners for maximum security.
Do I need an account to place an order?
No, you can checkout as a guest. However, creating an account lets you track orders, save preferences, and checkout faster next time.
Safety & Care
How should I maintain my bike helmet?
Clean the outer shell with mild soap and water. Never use harsh chemicals that could degrade materials. Store away from direct sunlight and replace after any significant impact (even if no damage is visible).
What’s the lifespan of protective gear?
Most safety equipment (helmets, armour) should be replaced every 3-5 years due to material degradation, or immediately after any crash where the gear absorbed impact.
