What’s a good bicycle helmet to buy?

Big Feet

I was an avid cyclist in the early 80âs, but traded my bike in for a pair of running shoes. After years of abusing my knees, Iâm trying to get back into riding.

Iâm taking it slooowww. Evenn though I expect to ride mostly on the street, I got a mountain bike. Iâm starting out on a Trek (http://www2.trekbikes.com/bikes/archive.php?bikeid=1022600 ) 4500, not that Iâll be doing any real off-road riding. (I might get crazy and ride of the curb of the sidewalk occasionally â¦. Yeeee Haaaa!!!)

Iâm told everyone wears helmets now. I know a helmet should fit properly, but what else should I look for in a helmet? What are some good brands? Good web sites? Which helmets will make me look like a dork? Which are the cool ones?

Thanks.

giro or bell. both amazing helmets. both will save your head if you crash. theres also project rudy helmets, they also sell eyeware if youd care to look into that as well. helmets dont need to look cool while most still do, get one with alot of air vents, good padding, and fits your head correctly. id always reccomend going into your local shop to check what they say as well.

I live in Philadelphia, and it is pretty congested. I have a trek bike helmet and I hate it. It feels like a big bowl on top of my head, and I hate the straps. I'm thinking about a skateboard helmet. Is that a good idea? I dont care how hot it is, I just want it to be more comfortable.
Thanks

Answer
The more expensive helmets come in different sizes and will be a much better fit. They will also be smaller then the one size fits all. A skateboard helmet will be way too hot.
