<p>In a last week or so, I noticed at least two people wearing their helmets backwards. No, not on Divvies or rented bikes. One was a man, one—a woman. Judging by their clothing, not new to riding.</p>
<p>Don't think I've ever seen anything like that in real life, though there are quite a few photos on the net.</p>
<p>Is it a new fashion trend I should know about?</p>

<p>I have for sale Bontrager Baillista helmet with mips. I bought it on May 9th from Wheel and Sprocket in Evanston (see attached). Rode with it couple of days and realized that it does not fit my head right. Size is in medium and color is white. </p>

<p>I paid $199 + tax for it - willing to let it go for $130. </p>

<p>I really like the idea of the integrated visor. I often ride in a forward (drop bar) position so I find myself looking up with my eyes (leaving the head somewhat down). When I do I find I'm looking over my glasses and below the edge of the helmet. With this visor going all the way up and over the edge of the helmet I'd still be looking through the visor and retaining that advantage (add - vantage, literally!).</p>
<p>The Star Pro lets you close a vent to keep out cold and wet so that is a another plus.</p>
<p></p>
<p>The minuses are the:</p>
<ul>
<li>cost (I can afford it but only if it actually is better)</li>
<li>looks (I'm already looking pretty dorky out there)</li>
</ul>
<p>Anyone tried these? Any other recommendations?</p> Cyclist victim of hit-and-runtag:thechainlink.org,2015-12-15:2211490:Topic:9591302015-12-15T01:11:39.297ZSara E.https://thechainlink.org/profile/SaraEarhart
<p>A few weeks ago my friend was biking home when he became the victim of a hit and run. He is currently recovering from a broken neck, severe bleeding and a stroke caused by the damage to his neck. His helmet saved his life.</p>

<p>I lost or misplaced my helmet and I need to replace it so that I may participate in certain group rides. I previously bought the cheapest helmet I could find (it was $15 at Blackstone Bicycle Works). Is there any benefit to buying a "better" helmet?</p>

This brand new Lazer Neon bike helmet is listed on Amazon for $55 (plus shipping), and you can get it from me for $10 off. It was given to me as a gift, but I already own a helmet. It would be a great helmet for newbies to road biking. <br></br><br></br>*It has only be worn once for the picture for this ad. Never being used.

<p>I bought this helmet online and it turns out it's a little too big for me. It's a small, and I should have ordered an extra small. The helmet is purple and the removable visor is white. I have worn it twice; it's basically brand new with maybe one minor mark on the helmet (because of that I'm selling on CL versus returning to the retailer). I can give it to you in the original box.<br></br> <br></br> I'm asking $30.<br></br> <br></br> Product details from Bern, including a sizing chart, can be found here:…</p>
