Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Limar helmets

On a whim I bought a Limar 969 helmet today for $40 at a sample sale. I've been riding with a 4 year old trek mountain bike helmet. Is this a good helmet?

What sample sale was this?

As far as your helmet purchase, I'm sure you'll be happier with the Limar so long as it actually fits your head. Sounds like a good upgrade from the old MTB helmet.
