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

Helmet sizing

Between two sizes on a TT helmet, 22", either S or M... should I size up or down? Go.

A helmet too big looks funny. Try one on first (with a place that has mirrors).

I'm being cheap and buying it on eBay. Seller at least has a 7 day exchange policy.

Go small. You live in Florida and don't have to wear caps under it in the cold.
