First, the recent helmet thread got me thing about replacing my own "highly" used bucket that has given me a few nice yrs of svc. I intend to replace it soon, and was wondering what you guys do with your used, worn out lids? Are there any mfg. that do some sort of helmet recycling program?

I use my old ones for the helmet cam (I don't like putting gooey velcro tape on my new one and for a night riding set up (so I don't have to keep taking off the light bracket).

Leave it as a spare in your car/truck. So when you forget yours you won't have to go through the...go home and get it or the ride without conundrum.

I keep one around as a spare/loaner and give the old ones to good will.

Never thought of that. I always seem to need a new one before the old one wears out. Guess I get my money's worth. :-)

Good point. To coin a tired phrase "been there, done that"

This is a good idea too, as I'm about to "upgrade"the oldest of my two kids bikes (birthday coming up, she'll be 11). I probably will be turning her ol' Schwinn over to those fine folks, or the Salvation Army. The local FD also has a fine used bike program for impoverished kids. I'll check it out...
Grind it up and mix it with gas and shoot out you ass.
After his next door neighbor's days on the crane and the Angels beating up the hapless Braves tonight (with Erstad KNOCKING OUT their weak catcher for the go-ahead run), he'll be the next headline. "IDIOT GOES UP IN FLAMES"
