    boy that's a tough one. THere are lots of yellow helmets for children. How silly of helmet manufacturers to NOT have yellow! (or flames for that matter!)

    It's weird -- there used to be a lot of yellow helmets available. The Giro that I crashed in (my dog accident) was yellow, and my husband still has a bright yellow Giro he bought a few years ago. I guess there are fashion colors in helmets just like with everything else. It does seem irresponsible of the manufacturers not to supply a nice visible color choice like yellow.

    They do make little yellow reflective stickers you can put on the back of your any-colored helmets, though. Performance sells them, and I am sure other LBS's must as well.

    Good luck!

    Thanks. I think reflectors are great for riding after sunset- when they reflect off of car headlights in the dark. But I ride in daylight only, and reflectors (and reflecting stickers) are just not much of anything in broad daylight. So I wanted a screaming yellow helmet, not reflectors. Maybe I'll just have to put battery blinkies on my helmet or something, look like a Martian...
    I too think it's really WIERD that there aren't more bright colored helmets. HELLO?? Missed opportunity here???
    And why do they think all women cyclists want pink or lavender helmets???? If I had a BIG head at least I could wear the non-girly-girl men's selections more.

    P.S. Mimi- cute. Very cute.

    I saw helmets in a bike store in Winston Salem with little blinkies built in, standing up off the top of the helmet. Now that would make you look like a Martian
