Do you really want your girlfriend to look like Mayim Bialik?
ohh, the girl from blossom? haha, yikes. good point.
Just get a regular road helmet. Ruining your hair for the day is why we hate helmets, and a road helmet has enough vents to sortof alleviate the problem. BMX helmet is the worst and this is from experience.
+1 on regular road helmet. Skate/bmx helmets suck unless it's winter.
It's not about aerodynamics, it's about comfort and weight. I too have tried wearing a skate helmet, and it made me miserable.
thanks for the testimonials. it sounds like the only way to do it is to hit a few stores in a day and see what's the most tolerable, in terms of comfort vs. aesthetics.
