Bike Helmets

[Toyotanut]

What do I need to know when looking at bike helmets? Anything in particular I should stay away from or look for? Oh this is for pedal biking

go try a bunch on, it's like a motorcycle helmet, fitment is key and so is comfort. I like my Pro-Tec. if you get a bmx style bucket be aware that it's going to be hotter than if you get a more "holey" mtb helmet, but you lose some of the temple protection the bmx ones offer.

good place to buy one:

Performancebikes has a good selection of basic mtb helmets, i bet the monroe bike shop has some bmx and mtb ones. I haven't been to Fluidride in the U-District in a while but they'd have more helmets geared for the aggresive MTBer. the bike shop in woo'ville next to play it again...and play it again. :eeek:
