Many bicycle web sites are "event" oriented. Lots are interested on races or racers.
Most are seasonally oriented, and a few are advocacy oriented.
We are not disinterested in these things. We are simply more interested in the promotion of cycling as a "normal" means of transportation for every day travel needs as well as recreation and healthy exercise. |

Blurb From Website What's the best helmet to buy?
Consumer Reports published a helmet article in 2002 showing good test results for
- Giro GilaT
- Trek Vapor (at $40 rated as a Best Buy)
- Giro Torrent
- Specialized Enduro Comp
(Giro says their Transit is the same helmet as the Torrent without a visor.)
Consumer Reports can't test everything on the market, so they did not cover most of the other brands.
We think you can do just as well by finding a helmet that fits you well, is round and smooth on the outside, and has a sticker inside certifying that it meets the CPSC standard. We have a description of what we consider to be the ideal helmet, and a long piece on Helmets for the Current Season if you want more info.
Who makes the coolest helmet?
Marketing hype aside, coolness always depends on ventilation, and that depends mostly on the size of the front vents. Consumer Reports found all of the adult helmets they tested were Good for ventilation, with the Specialized M1 rated excellent. But you can look at a helmet and see 90 per cent of the ventilation story. Most riders will not need all the vents you see in the most expensive models. What will I pay for it? Our local K-Mart, Toys R Us and Wal-Mart discount stores have smooth, round, helmets meeting the CPSC standard on sale regularly for about $10 to $25, and most discount stores are under $30. Local bike shops have major brands for $35 to $150. |
