Has anyone tried/bought this helmet? I think it looks quite nifty, if a little pricy. Here's a link to the Metro page at Bell's site.

As an aside: Why are helmets like this not more readily available? Is it because Europeans, who value bikes for transportation much more than us New Worlders, rarely wear helmets and thus there is no market? Or do the majority really want to wear a swoopy, wind tunnely looking thing to pop down to the store?
