Helmets

[Flur]

I have a Trek WSD helmet that I love. I can't remember the model name, but it's blue with a few red hibiscus flowers on it. It's super light - I usually forget I have it on - it has a lot of vents and it has space for a ponytail in back. I highly recommend it.

Hot screaming lime-green-yellow covered with reflective tape Bell Citi. $48 http://www.bellbikehelmets.com/produ...asp?prodID=10#

WITH a Mutant Guppy on top!

As they shout on the MUTs around here: Pull your head out of your b*tt and put a helmet on it! (we're a little excitable here in America's SECOND Best Cycling City)

ETA: and the Citi has a rounded back, so no faux-aero pointy bit to catch on the pavement when you crash and cause you to snap your neck.

I have the Bell Citi too...in a dark dark red with seagulls on it...I llike it because it got great reviews and it looks like a jockey's cap...

I forget what brand it is, but my current helmet has a bee guard on it -- a mesh screen behind the vents. It seemed like a brilliant idea to me because I am always getting bees in my helmet and they scare the bejeezus out of me.

Last time I wore it, a bee flew in the side, where there is no mesh. And then couldn't get out the front because of the mesh.

So I am thinking this is a dumb feature.

Got a pneumo. Could not resist the sale price. I llike it, plenty of vents. Not as hot as my last helmet but it is true, they all pass the safety test,regardless of cost.

I just ordered a new Giro from Sierra Trading Post. It's red , all my previous helmets were pink. Time for something more visible and a great price.

I have a Bell head. The Giros just don't fit me. I have found the Sweep-R to be my favourite but the Furio (cheaper) fits me pretty well.

I need to replace my Sweep now, so I might go for the Furio...
