Hi, I just started to take up biking and I have a specialized hardrock bike. I cant tell the difference between a road helmet and a mountain helmet. Here is one on ebay. Is this for mountain biking or road biking?

Answer
Road bike helmets have NO visor. So that's a road bike helmet. Mountain bike helmets have a visor to protect the rider's eyes & possibly deflect any low hanging tree branches or limbs. Try this one...

Comes in various colors.

Bicycle Helmet / Sunglasses problem?
rewald
I ride a road bike, and wear a Giro Eclipse helmet. I've tried several sunglasses, but the helmet seems to crunch my sunglasses down onto my nose. Anybody else experience this problem? Any ideas on a good solution? I wonder if a skateboard helmet would be better or worse?? I also wonder if any bicycle helmets come with a built-in sun shield, thus making sunglasses unnecessary. Thanks!!
Answer
The helmet may be "crunching" your sunglasses down on your nose because the lateral (around your head) adjustment is too loose. A general rule of thumb is to unfasten the chin strap and bend over. If the helmet falls off, the lateral adjustment should be tightened. I have also heard people complain that certain wraparound styles of sunglasses do not work with certain helmets. You may want to look at some cycling specific sunglasses (take your helmet with you when you go to purchase).
There are MTB helmets with visors, but they do not provide eye protection and probably won't give you the glare reduction your'e looking for. I've never seen a eye-shield type device on a cycling helmet and suspect that the aerodynamic effect might not be good.
