I came to road biking from a mountain biking background. I always wore a visor on my helmet to block the sun. Used the same helmet when I started road biking. I noticed right away that the ride position is very different on a road bike than a mountain bike. I also had a bit of a difficult time seeing so the visor had to come off. That was easy to do as it was a clip on visor.
