I wouldn't need to wear a helmet while kicking your ass. I know that for a fact.

You're in a no win situation. You beat up an old elderly fellow, or you get clocked by an old fart. I don't see how it's gonna work out well for you.

Beating up elderly fellows is normal around the Northeast. That's how we keep the population down.

For one thing their teeth fall out easier, if they still have them. Makes it easier.

To bring this back on topic :-P I tried on a bunch of helmets at a local bike shop. Pretending that price was not an option, I ended up picking a Trek Vapor helmet. It's the most comfortable, light weight helmet I've worn. It was $40+ tax and is a great fit for my head as well:



We'll see how it feels this weekend after wearing it for a few hours on the trails if I can get out there!

Looks like my Gyro Pneumo (road lid) with a visor.
