I just didn't want to invest $500 in a helmet when a $200 one would do just as well.
Please get off your high bicycle and come down here with us regular people.
Where do you think I purchased my bicycle? Where do you think I purchased the bike rack?
Where do you think I purchased the lights? Where do you think I purchased the bottle cages?
I spent about $900 dollars for my bike and accessories.. guess where? The local bike shop!
Now $900 may not seem like much to some people, but you can bet your sweet ass it's a
lot to me.
So you spent $900 on a bicyle and accessories...Now go back to the LBS and spend about $70-$90 on a good helmet. Ordering online and hoping it fits correctly just isn't going to work for you.
I have two Specialized helmets. Paid $90 for one and $40 (on sale) for the other. The one I bought on sale even has the MIPS technology.
