Must have OCP helmet...

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

For road cycling?

I think that one belongs in the bmx forum, or perhaps the CX forum at a minimum.

I'll admit, the blinkie is useful for commuting though.

The virtual HUD extension won't be available until September. That's a long wait....

Once again, military technology trickles down... Now you too can use the same helmet system as the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter:

Much like R600DuraAce, the IHADSS system allows you to kill your opponents with "the look," only in this case there's a 20mm machine gun involved.

I've also commuted, although not as frequently or as hardcore as ViperZ.

Just because you commute doesn't mean you have to look like the 40-year-old Virgin...

For sure

However I don't mind the helmet at top, just not something I would use....

I'm not a huge fan of bell helmets, but I do like the cover and earflaps. A bit pricey for most of the people that would actually use something like this though.
