Never been in a crash. Has been stored in the shed and the foam padding inside of the helmet has deteriorated. The bike shop advised that these cannot be replaced as they dont make them. Someone may be clever enough to make their own padding to connect to velcro strips inside the helmet rather than throwing this helmet away. Please message me if you are interested. Pick up Epuni, Lower Hutt.

As the colder months close in, we will fire through some wellness tips to keep your body fighting fit! 🧠🥊

First up: MOVEMENT 🏃‍♀️🕺🤸‍♂️🚴‍♀️
Daily movement has been proven in countless research articles to provide benefit for immune function, reduced risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes, and improvements in mental health!

A recent systematic review found the 150 minutes of mild-moderate exercise per week can provide substantial protection against chronic diseases - particularly cardiovascular outcomes.

Another review found that physical exercise is the single most effective prescriptive treatment for improving symptoms of depression & anxiety. 🤯😵‍💫
150 minutes per week equates to 21 minutes per day, or just 1.45% of your day total!

✅ So get out for a brisk walk, jump on the bike, get to the pool, or simply chuck on some Dua Lipa and dance for 20 minutes! Your body will thank you for it! 💃🕺

Keep an eye out for our next Winter Wellness instalment - SLEEP

I've entered it in the NZ Geo competition, but even if I don't get anywhere, I still think it's a cracker. Three black shags/māpunga (Phalacrocorax carbo) fighting over an eel."
