bicycle helmets ventilation image

wondering if it is worth it to by one at a bike shop for $50+ or target for $20?
Answer
It matters in one key area...comfort and/or ventilation. Summer is here. Your head will need to vent from as many directions as possible. Most cheap helmets only have vent slots on top. Better ones will have vent slots on the top & REAR! You can find a really good Giro helmet on Amazon.com for $40 or less with free shipping.

What should a simple bicycle helmet cost? I think some sports stores are way over-priced?

WEll, I'm on a budget, and I returned a helmet to Target for $15.00. Now, I thought maybe it was cheap, but then when I look at the $40.00 helmets at Sports Authority and Dick's Sporting Goods, I wonder if they're the same quality, just over-priced, or if I'm really getting somethign better?
Right price? Good store in Albany, NY or national chain?
Wow, there's a lot of helpful people and good info here already! THanks to all... will be back for a best answer later, but it will be tough.
The story about gettng one's head run over by a truck was especially moving!
Thanks!

More expensive doesn't mean safer. The main thing you're looking for is if it is certified to meet certain standards of safety. The pricier helmets usually cost more for reasons other than safety: design, lighter materials, more ventilation, more "advanced" or easier strapping systems, and their higher price has nothing to do with safety. Perhaps the "lightness" feature (the helmet being lighter in weight) may be important enough for you to pay more, but I don't know that any helmets are "heavy." The important thing is to look for is a helmet that meets safety standards and that has a good fit for your head (so try it on before you buy and compare the fit of different models).
