Cycling Helmets

Cycling helmets are probably the most important accessory a cyclist can wear. The risk of head trauma occurring during an accident makes the use of helmets of paramount importance. They can literally be the difference between life and death in the event of an accident.

There are a great many different cycling helmets currently available. For most people, a basic, off-the-shelf helmet will provide adequate protection. In most cases, these helmets are vented to keep you head cool while riding.

There are other cycling helmets with more specific functions. For road racers, aerodynamically designed helmets can help reduce the amount of wind resistance, thereby increasing race times. Extreme mountain bikers often wear motorcycle helmets due to the very real risk of serious injury.
