Just a head's up: REI is having their Labor Day sale, and both the Giro Havoc and Bell Furio are 25% off through the 4th:

Now, do I want a road helmet or a mountain helmet? I think they're both very pretty and would work fine for me. Is it better to wear a road helmet on the trails (which I've been doing), or a visored helmet on the road? I will probably go with the Havoc if they have my size as it appeals to me a bit more, people here like it, and it's ponytail-compatible (and I'm growing my hair!)
