Catlike Helmets In The US?

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

But they are different and hardly anyone else has one, and out here it's not what works, but what looks cool that's best. I mean, look at the fitting threads. Esh.

I'd like to see the end result of a crash test to check if their particular technology is more efficient that that of other makers. At this price they'd better protect you from everything including the flu.

Bikes: have wheels...

LOL, lots of haters in here, I guess everyone wants to be the same (Giro,Giro,Giro...etc.) the last thing I want to do is look like the next guy...

Price,.. funny how people bark at the price but no1 flinches @ $300+ for a pair of sunglasses (jOakley),...

"Turbulence",... please,... but I'll be sure to wear a different helmet next time I ride in a wind tunnel or plan on riding faster than 100km/h...

Anyway, I like mine and I'm almost happy they aren't available in the US as the rest of the BF flock would be wearing them, each to their own IMHO.

Ride faster??? I only saw two others on my ride today and I hammered past them both on a steep climb,....Good thing they were going in the opposite direction or there would have been some serious embarrassment handed out...
