The original Cycle Care shop on Woodlands Road was known across the land for high quality safety equipment and high style accessories; and those who have become dependent upon the DeCouto brothers for their bike bling-bling needs over the years need not worry; the new shop is still stocked to the hilt!

The blindingly shiny new accessory shop features all the trinkets and brand name ornaments you will ever need to give your bike that extra appeal. There you will find mean looking space-aged mufflers by Polini, Gianelli, and Kundu; essential high-end performance parts like clutches, belts, chains, and brakes; vicious racing shocks; and any manner of adhesive adornment (stickers), your heart will ever desire.

There are also novelty parts on offer here (many of which you'll have to see to believe), and so many cool, colourful, collectable handlebar grips your head may literally spin!

Speaking of head-spinning, Cycle Care has been the local dealer of the best helmets available for years now. The accessory shop is quite well stocked with the well known Grex helmets, the popular THH helmets, and the absolutely rock solid reliable Nolan helmets. All of the helmets sold at Cycle Care not only look great, but they also exceed all safety standards for that essential piece of equipment.

In fact, the Nolan helmets far exceed every safety standard known, and are the preferred safety gear of the Bermuda Police Service. Cycle Care has been supplying the Police with helmets for some time now, and no less an authority than Bermuda's Road Safety bone expert, Dr. Joseph Froncioni has stated previously that Nolan is the best helmet one can buy for securing perhaps the most important bone of them all — the skull.

The helmets on offer at Cycle Care range in price from as low as $50 to as high as $299 (they also have professional racing helmets that go for $475), and the Nolans linger around the $200 plus mark.

There has been concern by some customers that the $225 price tag that the typical Nolans carry is too high; a concern that Steven DeCouto answers with a very poignant philosophical gem: "You get a $5 helmet for a $5 head." Amen. Now you know your head is an essential part of your life, so why wouldn't you make an investment in protecting it? You've got one head people; spend the money.

The newest Nolan is a very stylish looking half-shell helmet (the Nolan N32), which has arrived en mass just in time for summer. This very cool looking piece of equipment features removable ear and neck warmers to allow those refreshing summer breezes to keep your head from getting too hot while you're riding; a removable inner liner, which is also washable; and a sexy double visor which covers the entire face at night, and provides a tinted glare shield for when you are riding into the sunset after, say, a long day at the Eastern County Cup game.

Needless to say, if you have a bike that needs to be spruced up or could use a few small tweaks to bring it back to the head of the pack, you can go the Cycle Care and get lost in a world of sparkling accessories, state-of-the-art racing parts, and devastatingly durable safety equipment. In any event, if you are a cycle enthusiast of any real consequence, you owe it to yourself to visit the new Cycle Care very, very soon.
