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

Mavic Helmets

Did a quick search and didn't see a post on this. I just ran across some pics of some helmets that Mavic is making for 2012. I really dig the look of the Plasma SLR:



Of course I'm not sure I like it $225 worth....

I like the new Orbea helmets better. Although those do look pretty sweet.

I just can't get into the Orbea helmets for some reason. The look like someone swirled soft serve ice cream on your head...

I have the odin

its lighter, airy and very comfortable! Honestly I wouldve never thought spending 180 on a helmet would be worth it but it most definitely is.

I have the exact same helmet and as far as I can tell its one of the best for the money. (Though still not cheap)

You should try lycra, it feels like you're wearing nothing at all... at all...

Those new Mavic helmets look good, if you like that cool "modern" style and light weight.
