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

New Helmet Recommendation - Orange?

Recently crashed and will be needing a new helmet. I was wearing a Specialized Echelon. Since I going to get a new helmet, is there one out there that is orange? I'm looking for one that would match my BMC roadracer but can't seem to find one in orange.

I am pretty sure you can get the "catlike whisper" in a wide variety of colors plus those helmets look sweet

Should have tried this link before. When I need a new helmet, my colors would be red/yellow.. My club colors..
Still. red/yellow seems a difficult combination . I've asked my favorite bike shops, they say they have no access to a manufacturer whose colors are red/yellow..
Your link came up with a Airius helmets, Inc.. Never heard of them.?

Thanks for the recommendation. The orange catlike looks sweet. It matches the orange in my bike. It's pretty pricey but I think I'm going to get one. Any other places beside CC/ebay that sell them here in the US. Most of the places I have seen are in the UK.

Yah. Euskaltel rides with orange/white catlike helmets. Maybe be able to find a team helmet somewhere.

I would really like one as well and since it could potentially save my life. Price point is a bit less of a concern than it would be for other things (right now i have a bell). I really like how the hole/vent pattern is also a safety feature as well as functional.

...and did i mention they look sweet?

Haha. I really like the way the Catlike look. Too bad they are so damn pricey. Well you only live once.
