Around here it is mainly farm country. Not much in the department of
horse supplies, let alone helments like Troxel. So, since there are lots
of bicycle helmets, would a bicycle helmet work as well? I have a weird
shaped head and I would need to try on helmets to find one to fit. So
could I go to bicyle shops and get a helmet and would it work?
