I am wanting to sell a used adult bike with some accessories (a camelbak and a helmet). I don’t think the bike is worth much but the bicycle blue book doesn’t list this brand (genesis from walmart) and other calculators are pricing it at $50+ even in poor condition (not ridden much, tires need to be replaced). I don’t think it cost more than $180, if that, when I bought it 4 years ago.

If anyone could point me in a good direction I would be grateful.

I am in the USA.

    One of the things I learned in my motorcycle class was that motorcycle helmets have a 5-7 year life span and then are considered no longer good for protection because of the interior padding they use that degrades with time.

    I’m sure bicycle helmets are no different to this rule except that the speed difference may play a factor to abide more closer to this when riding a motorcycle than a bicycle.

      All bicycle helmets I used had no functional padding to speak of. There were strips a few mm thick at the places where your head touches the helmet but I don’t think that’d be significant in a crash.
