Today I picked up a new helmet. I've been using a cheap Giro Livestrong helmet for a while now and was getting fed up of looking like one of those mushroom men from Super Mario Brothers!
I did a bit of hunting round a decided on a Limar 777 Road Bike helmet. It's really light and looks great, it's got the added bonus of matching my Scotland jersey I got a few weeks ago. I tried it on and it is alot more comfortable than the cheap one I've been using.

| Front - the mesh is to stop bugs getting in while i ride |

There are alot of differing opinions on the safety of helmets. Some people claim they dont help and some say they are essential. There was a good article on Bicycling.com today about helmet safety. It covers alot of interesting points. You can read it
here.
For me, a helmet is essential. I need my brains! And just in case I ever do get knocked off i've got my Road ID on my wrist too.
