Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Looking for a new helmet

Budget, under $200. Aero is a plus, as is something quiet. Wind noise on my current LG is bothersome at speed. Giro Air Attack appears to be a good choice, and is available for $120. Any better options? TIA for the assist!

Any helmet you can buy in America will meet the accepted performance standards, never mind the price.

Find one that fits, ignore the salesman trying to sell a more expensive helmet.

Expensive helmets often fit 'better' or look better, and that is fine --- but -- they won't 'work' any better.

suit yourself ;o)
