The rules for Adventure Cycling tours are few.
1. Have a good time
2. Wear a helmet
I'm pretty sure you've got number one covered, but let's devote a little time here to number two. Seriously, we spend so much time obsessing about the perfect jersey, the perfect wicking gloves, while helmets are simply tossed on without a second thought, year after year. The perfect outfit topper, however, does exist; and your helmet doesn't have to be geeky!
Check out my favorite options:
Yakkay creates helmets for people who appreciate function and style. Is this girl wearing a sweet white hat? No! She's wearing a bicycle helmet, and is ready to ride.
Maybe, though, you're looking for something a little lower profile; something that says: I appreciate good taste AND good cycling form. In that case, check out the Bell Citi pictured up top--at a mere $48, it's a case of good taste matching good value.
