STIs don't always cause symptoms or may only cause mild symptoms, so it is possible to have an infection and not know it. This is one reason why STI testing is so important. If you do test positive for an STI, know that all STIs are treatable.

A properly fitted helmet is the best way to prevent serious injuries. When strapping in, remember the Two-Finger Rule:

✔ Above the eyebrows: The helmet should sit level and flat, exactly two fingers above your brows.
✔ Around the ears: The side straps should form a perfect "V" around both ears ✌️.
✔ Under the chin: Once buckled, you should only be able to fit two fingers between the strap and your chin.
