    I may have to get this! Accessories include front and rear lights, and a mirror.

    I like the zebra, but I wish they'd done it in black and white.


    Edit, sorry about he typo in the subject line!

    My only complaint is that it doesn't come in hi-viz yellow. Commuters need to be visible all the time and in every way possible, and the integrated flashers are not enough IMO, although they are a nice touch.

    The men's version, which is probably the same, except for the graphics.

    Actually, it is slightly larger.

    I used the older version of that helmet and liked it a lot.
    (Of course I got rid of it after I crashed in it.)
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Brown/gold zebra looks kind of like a zebraxgiraffe hybrid.

    I recently found that the Flea rear light fits on the rear harness strap of some Giro helmets. For xmas, I'm getting my daughter a Giro Havoc helmet with a Flea rear light.
    Oil is good, grease is better.
