:P
They've got a good selection of funky helmets here : http://www.beachcruiser.de/index.php/ca ... lmets.html
I have to say I like some of those, very funky
There is the advantage with one of those, dual use, myself and Jake have booked a skiing/snowboarding holiday for next year and those Bern ones have use for both cycling and snowboarding, so a bit of a money saver there
Yeah, true, especially for the peaked ones, I am considering one of those for snowboarding, I like my nose...0 -

Do they deteriorate over time? I know plastic becomes more brittle with age and was wondering whether I should change it anyway.
Bell and Giro say you should change it every 3 years. Met say 8 years. That's one of the reasons I bought Met, they aren't money grabbing barstewards.Saracen Tenet 3 - 2015 - Dead - Replaced with a Hack Frame
