Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bell Furio. Cheap and light (250g). Mine is also the white/silver, which is supposedly the safest color for a helmet... or so I've heard.

The Catlike with the "gills" looks pretty interesting. How does it fit? Is it bulky compared to Bell?

I'm pretty happy with my Lazer. Easily the most comfortable helmet that has ever found its way onto my head.

as a rule, Catlike helmets tend to be less bulky than most other lines, and notably more compact than Bell's volt. here's pic of the Catlike Kompact alongside a Selev Matrix, Uvex Race Boss,my Spiuk Nexion and Shain BK100, all in my size. the Uvex,Selev, Spiuk and Catlike are all compact designs, whereas the Shain is average in bulkiness.

How is the Uvex Race Boss helmet? I have been thinking of purchasing one to replace my old helmet but i haven't been able to find a lot of reviews on it.

S-Works, got it for cheap; it looks different in real life than it does in this studio shot, so maybe I should take a pic sometime.
