I got safety orange for its great visibility. It really does stand out -- even more than the yellow or white/lime green colors -- when there's lots of background.
The Citi has two features I like -- the first is a strap in the back to which you can clip on a blinkie for night riding. (The helmet in the photo says "metro" but actually it's the Citi with the strap on the back.)
The second is that Bell makes a mirror that clips onto the visor (actually, it's made for the Bell Metro, the Citi's predecessor, but the Metro has the same visor.
Hooray!!! Helmets that look "normal" and not like a "swoopy" head!
