Does your helmet match your bike?
I did a search but came up with nothing. Does your helmet you guys wear match your bike or do you wear a totally different colour helmet? Just wondering.

A lightweight aero helmet can bring instant gains of up to 2 mph but I couldn't find a helmet to match the blue of my bike so no, doesn't match!

No
I'm not concerned about making a fashion statement.

Yes, blue/gray bike with yellow accents. To finish off the rainbow effect I wear a red helmet.

it matches my shoes, gloves and bike. the whole ensemble is a colour coordinated statement but i'm not sure what it is saying is very complimentary.

Matches kit, but then black/grey matches any kit.
Black/grey also matches any bike so I suppose it matches my bike too.

Well. One of my bikes is red.. As is my club kit.. ( red and yellow) My helmet is red and yellow, to match my club colors, not to match my bike.. My race bike is white.. Never would I wear bike kit to match a white bike...

Black bike with white writing, black kit with white accents, white helmet. Haven't got anything which matches the turquiosey colour (can you guess what bike I have yet? 
) but it's a pretty small amount on my bike.

Current helmet is a really really dark blue, doesn't match my bike which is black and green. I'm thinking about getting a new helmet as it gets warmer, I'll probably go with either white or light gray for the sun.

no, while both my helmet and CAAD9 are black and grey, my CAAD has Tiagra and Krysilium wheel set, by helmet rock sram with a cosmic carbon wheelset.

Black goes with everything, right? If not, it matches one of my bikes but not the other.
My next helmet will be white because of this: https://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/328/7444/857.

Compared with wearing a black helmet, use of a white helmet was associated with a 24% lower risk...
