My New Head Protector

Finally have a helmet that fits! It's not that my other helmet doesn't fit, it's just that it didn't fit quite the way I would like (personally I didn't like the look all that much). My other helmet is a Trek which I bought almost 5 years ago (I think, but can't remember for sure). It doesn't get enough airflow and feels huge on my head. Though it does still provide enough protection so I'll be using it for mtn biking instead.

As for the road bike, I was hoping to get a Giro Atmos because I liked the design and colors, but though I thought medium was an ok fit, it just didn't leave enough room for my head. The large was huge and I practically had to tighten it all the way and still it wouldn't stay put. The guy at Sports Basement suggested I try Bell. I checked out the Speed R and it fit quite nice. I was a bit bummed about the color selection, but I had a 20% off coupon and intended to get a helmet so I decided on the yellow/white pattern.


Now all I need to do is stop feeling bad so I can get out and ride. I've been fighting a cold for a few days (ever since the hike on Sunday). Feels like a chest cold, but so far it hasn't gotten all that bad though it is keeping me from doing much else (getting up to go to work each day takes a bit of pushing too ;)).
