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

^Black shorts and shoes^, just that would be an improvement. Can't relate to the new look of cycling. Even the position on their bikes. Gee, who's more aero?

No helmet looks stylish , they all look idiotic but who cares if they accomplish the job they are designed for.

haha Modern group is sitting up, probably going up a hill in a big pack.. retro group in doing P-R probably hammering it on flats.

if modern pro's bikes didn't fit they wouldn't ride them.. i'd guess they are fitted to the mm far more than the old bikes.

unaero

I found the trick is to find a helmet that works for your head circumference. By that I mean, it should have a size that fits you well, instead of forcing you to get something huge that you then have to tighten to fit. I have a Giro Atmos. When trying it on , the XL looked huge. The L fits perfectly, and does not look too ridiculous.

You're the second to recommend Lazer - maybe I'll give them a go. I have a 30-days to return the Spec.

I like my Lazer as well, the fit system and air flow are the best I've tried. But I will say there vents generate much more wind noise than the Bells I had been using.

If you ride in winter their optional winter pad set is nice, too.

I find Kask to be pretty low profile relative to others...according to the wife anyhowse...For example (Not me..):








I must confess...I really don't concern myself all that much about what others may think...Comfort, safety is where it's at. My Kask saved my noggin' a few weeks ago, I bought another. Kask



I found the whole bibs thing liberating. lmao
