Getting ready to purchase my first helmet for road cycling...previous helmet was a cheap, non-well-fitting Bell from WM, for off road riding.

Do you use a visor on your helmet for cycling on the road or not? Why or why not?

The helmet I'm looking at offers it with (+$5) or without. Looks kind of cheap on this specific helmet but just trying to see if it is an effective addition or not.

Thanks for your opinions!
