Best bike helmets & accessories according to redditors

No, but you really should go buy a helmet. You can get a decent servicable one for less than $30. For example: http://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-Thrasher-Adult-Bicycle-Helmet/dp/B00012M5MS

But go to your LBS and make sure it fits, etc.

Hey there! I ride that leg very frequently - it is R38 / South Dakota Ave. Yes, it is dedicated shoulder riding, but the shoulder is widened more than a usual highway's would be. I would recommend it over gravel for one major reason: drivers expect bikers to be there. During a good summer day you'll encounter 5-10 bikers in the 10-mile stretch; all regular drivers in the area will be aware that bikes are on the shoulder.

Must-have #1: get a good helmet-mounted mirror (I use this one) and continuously assess the situation area you. Be especially vigilant about people passing other cars. IMO having you, a car, and another car all in a line together is a great way to die. If I see a car swing out to pass another car near me, I usually give a very clear "stop" hand signal to indicate I want them to wait until they are clear of me. Some oblige, some don't.

Must have #2: set up a safety rule and follow it. Mine is that I watch for an approaching car and if at any point their tire touches the solid white line into the shoulder, I hard brake and remove myself from the road. Thankfully, that's only happened once, and in that particular case the driver did start moving towards the center line as he approached, though I had already begun stopping.

Must have #3: get a very bright flashing rear light and use it during the day while on the highway. I have to admit to you that mine isn't bright enough, but reading this made me realize I need to get one purchased before the season starts back up, so I think I'm going to give this guy a try.

If you do the things above I think you'll find the ride up very enjoyable. Good luck and stay safe!

I have tinnitus and was looking for something to protect my ears from the wind noise as well. I found these and they work pretty good. It looks goofy, but I'd rather not lose more of my hearing.

Can use any fabric really, from headbands that cover the ears to those tube gaiters pulled up.

Here's a direct competitor that claims to be better, if you want to go that route: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06VY6MH3Y

Beware that noise can still be transmitted through bone conduction, so beware of other headwear touching your skull.

New straps are not terribly difficult to sew on. You don't need to be particularly good at sewing or even need a machine, but a tailor can do it for you in minutes. Or you can retrofit [one of these] (https://smile.amazon.com/Black-Metal-Helmet-Quick-Release/dp/B00U2T894I) and have a nice quick release handy.

What he said. Unless your sole purpose is barreling down mountains the only thing that a full face helmet is going to do is make you sweat more and piss you off when you're climbing. If you want something that can do that, the Bell Super 3r is something you should look at. It's a hybrid helmet, (meaning it's both gas and electric, JK) but it can be converted from full face to half-shell with a couple of screws. Another company that does it is Giro with their Switchblade however I feel like that one looks a bit like a moped helmet without the chin bar.

I use one on my helmet and as dorky as it looks, I came to rely on it very quickly, and it's super helpful.

Edit: this is the one I use.

So essentially one of [these] (http://www.amazon.com/Cycleaware-Reflex-Bicycle-Helmet-Mirror/dp/B00012343C)?

I'll vouch for cat ears as an effective tool for reducing wind noise.

I've recently purchased a pair after seeing so many fuzzy helmet straps on group rides.

The work as advertised, and I'm VERY happy to not have the constant rumble of wind in my ears.

Got 'em for $12.50 on Amazon.

This is the mirror: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003LVHZ4O/

I have a Rohloff Speedhub, and that is the standard Rohloff shifter. mounted on the bar end: https://www.rohloff.de/en/products/speedhub/twist-shifter/index.html

High quality and bang for the buck

You're looking at some attachment like these guys:

https://www.amazon.com/Third-Eye-Helmet-Bicycle-Mirror/dp/B0015ZZBM6

That's all I can think of, props for figuring it all out and getting the blades on!

I've seen a bunch of guys with the Lumos, it's very visible coming at it from the front and rear.

DC Rainmaker is happy with his Coros helmet.

I use a Basecamp helmet from Amazon. The eye shield is held on with magnets, though. Add in Aftershox Bluez 2S bone conducting headphones and a light on the back, and I've got essentially the whole thing piecemeal.

If I had to get the lights over again, I'd get the Light and Motion Viz 360 Pro.

Have you thought about one of these? A guy I used to work out with had one of these but he wore it on his glasses somehow.

Also, has anyone tried one of these mirrors? How do they work?

Congrats, fellow bike commuter (well, I may be exaggerating, I split my commutes between biking and busing).

Helmet. Going cheap is better than nothing, since to be sold as a bike helmet in most civilized nations, it needs to meet certain minimum safety standards. Spending more money mostly gets you better ventilation, less weight, and a more comfortable fit. Right now I'm still wearing a 25$ helmet I got from CostCo. It works quite well for my needs, but I've worn nicer helmets and I almost wish I had not because it made me very aware of the magnitude of the difference in cooling and weight.

For a lot of my more "daily need" (rather than specialist hobby) type things I've been going to the review site The Sweethome. I recommend reading their bike lock review, lots of information, even if I don't like their top pick as much. Their top recommended helmet is actually also a Specialized product. They also recommend for those on a budget the Schwinn Thrasher (this is a charity link, if you get this and care about such things you might want to go to Sweethome's helmet review and click on their referral link to pay them for their research).

Security. Locks are interesting. Any lock will make your bike that teeny bit less interesting to a thief, but at the end of the day, somebody with a semi-decent battery powered angle grinder can get through any U-Lock in less than five minutes. But to avoid losing out to a 2 second lever attack (a crowbar can bend nearly any U like a pretzel), or worse, a 1-second bolt cutter attack if all you've got is a cable, you need a quality u-lock, made of thick, heavy steel. You want to try and get the shortest one that you can lock through your wheel(s*), a post, and your frame, because this gives the least room for levering. (*: If your wheels are expensive enough, it's worth it to get a quick release for the front, and when you park, take it off and lock it together with your rear wheel through the frame. If not, the standard cable loop will do for securing the back wheel, with u-lock through front and frame.)

Some people are so concerned with weight that for a work and back trip, they will buy a spare u-lock and leave it at their job.

Next level paranoia is to combine a U-lock with a hardened security chain that must have its own separate lock (which will look like a pad-lock sized u-lock), but that's only for a very expensive bike that needs to spend some time in a quite low security area.

I'm using a less expensive ABUS u-lock because it can share a key with the frame lock on my commuter bike and I had some money to spare (it costs too much if that feature isn't valuable to you). Before that I had an OnGuard Pitbull, though even the step down lock from them, Bulldog, is worthwhile (thick, hardened, latch on both ends of the U).

The Crosstrail doesn't come with a Brooks saddle, which are one of the most common targets of saddle theft, but you might want to get a little permanent cable to secure it anyways. The traditional security is an old piece of bike chain, but thieves are wise to that now, and will carry a chain tool with them (especially in places like New York or San Francisco). Again, some of the more paranoid specifically get a quick-release on their saddle, take it off when parking and put their u-lock through the saddle rails. A different species of paranoid use JB-weld to put a ball bearing in the hex hole of their saddle adjust and post adjust nuts, though this requires a blow torch any time you want to use them.


Tools. If I'm interpreting right, the cross trail doesn't come with quick-release skewers. for the wheels or the seat. In this case, you'll need 10 and 15mm combination wrenchs (or box or open, whatever). You can get short ones from Amazon for under 5$ together. Some bike tool companies make a combination wrench device that will cost much more but weigh less (eg, Pedro's Trixie, 20$, but also includes lock ring wrench, 4mm hex, and 5mm hex)

You'll want a small Phillips head screwdriver (though maybe it's slot? It's been a while since I've had a normal derailer, you should check). If you don't have or get a multi-tool, look for the kind that are meant to go on a keyring.

You'll want hex wrenches for all of the many hex bolts and adjusters you have now. Since there are probably a few, you might want to just bite the bullet and get a bike multi-tool, or at least a multi-hex wrench. Sweethome recommends this one by Topeak.

You will definitely want tire levers. I hear Pedro's' are the best.

Maybe not now but at some point you'll want a spoke wrench for the size of spoke nipple you have; and a chain tool.

If it ever rains where you keep your bike and your saddle isn't water proof you want a rain cap for it. You can improvise one of these out of a plastic grocery bag though.

WD-40 is a water displacer and solvent, not a lubricant. I'm not an expert, but I honestly recommend a dedicated bike lube, since they're formulated for the particular combination of element exposure and speed of movement that bike parts undergo. I see Boeshield T9 recommended often.

To be prepared for tire blow outs or leaks, you'll want to carry either a spare tube or two (I have panniers, why not), or at least a patch kit. More than one bicycle gear review I've seen says Rema Touring Patch kit is the best. You'll also want a portable pump. This is another case like my helmet where it's barely adequate, so it's far down the list of things to upgrade, but a quality model is almost painful in how much better it feels to use. Sweethome recommends either the Lezyne Pressure Drive (which I've used, and is amazing) or the Topeak Road Morph G (slightly less expensive, includes gauge, but bigger and heavier).

Clothes and Bags. Despite my bold heading I can't give much advice here. I've never worked anywhere with a strict dress code, so the most changing I've done was bike there in a sweat-wicking t-shirt, and then change there into a wrinkle-free button down shirt I bundled up in my messenger bag. And my pants are quick drying travel pants, so I've also never felt the need for rain pants. If things are different for you, you'll definitely want a rack and panniers for a change of clothes. I'm making my own (shoutout to /r/myog), but I'm basing the design on the Arkel Bug, which impresses me. And of course, you may want a little pack you can hang on your bike for your bike tools and supplies. But I keep mine in a pouch in my messenger bag.

Good luck!

hi there, just wanna share of my thoughts

1. theres a tutorial for belts from official boostedboards youtube channel, you should check them out, basically dont to over tighten or have it to loose, indication the belt is to loose, is when you push the brake hard, you'll hear the belt slips
   
2. bushing is used for your skateboard / longboard trucks to be able to maneuver / pivot (turning left / right) there are many type of bushing, please choose it based on your riding style (carving, down hill) etc, please see the link below to give you more understanding about bushing selection
   
   http://www.riptidesports.com/info-charts-guides/
   
   http://www.riptidesports.com/bushing-shapes-info-guide-1/
   
   my recommendation for boostedboards trucks is to use orangatang nipples, you can choose the type based on your weight
   
   
3. here's the tools that you should have
   
   

• skate tools, this to tighten or loosen your trucks / to setup your bushing and also to remove your wheels https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078RH9GFJ/ref=s9_acsd_top_hd_bw_bEKiV_c_x_1_w?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=merchandised-search-3&pf_rd_r=BSSY0H165E8FWCEAN2GA&pf_rd_r=BSSY0H165E8FWCEAN2GA&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=e6a5ce5a-52db-5d56-87d1-c16656e5c840&pf_rd_p=e6a5ce5a-52db-5d56-87d1-c16656e5c840&pf_rd_i=3416231

I spent $600 on an entry-level road bike and about another $600 on accessories last month. First time biking since I was a kid with a budget MTB. Pretty happy with my current setup outside of my evil saddle.

Here are some accessories I got which I think are potentially missing from your list or are just good fits for what you want (not going to talk about stuff like a saddle bag since the right choice for that differs by person/bike):

• Cell phone mount if you want to use your phone for whatever reason (music and GPS for me)
  
• More comfortable saddle/gel cover (my stock saddle is torture and my gel cover doesn't completely help, will probably buy a better saddle at some point)
  
• Cycling socks/cycling shoes/clipless pedals (Not sure what would be stock/default for you. It was my first time using clipless pedals with the purchase last month. I am very comfortable with them now. I recommend swapping to the pedals you want sooner rather than later.)
  
• Maybe go with a CO2 inflator and cartridges if you don't want to carry a pump with you
  
• Reflective vest if you want to bike at low visibility
  
• Helmet mirror if you are the least bit concerned about vehicles
  
• Multi-tool like this
  
• Get degreaser and lubricant for monthly chain maintenance
  
  Try to get a bike fit done. Those can be expensive though. The best tip I can share regarding fit from my limited experience is "your saddle is probably too low".

Here is what I have been using for 2 years. It is completely safe and great quality. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00U2T894I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_WTg3Db94VTJ61

PTSD: You've got it. Please engage with a professional to discuss your psychological damage. This isn't your fault and you aren't broken. Someone/thing lumped a huge burden onto your shoulders and, in most cases, it requires the trained help of a professional.

I'm sorry this was done to you. FWIW, I consider my helmet mirror to be my most important piece of safety equipment. It's absolutely worth the $40

I love the Bern line personally as they look great and are comfortable/affordable. The S1 Lifesaver is also a popular choice in regards to safety at a good price.

You could also go with a road bicycle helmet if you want something breathable and lightweight. They are a popular choice with the LDP (push) community.

I don't know your financial situation. But I'd spend as much money on a helmet sd you can afford. I wouldn't get on the street with anything from Walmart protecting my brain. I was actually looking at some of their helmets in store today and the cheap(under $30 ones) are really poor quality; cheap plastic clips that would probably give with the slightest bump, exposed foam with no sweat absorption(if you've ever had salty sweat pour into your eyes while going 25 mph, you probably had a bad time) Im pretty new to bicycle riding, but I've ridden motorcycles for years, and one thing Ive NEVER skimped on was protecting my brain. Heres something thats pretty great for the price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FL7LL5K/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469079060&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=bern+bicycle+helmet&dpPl=1&dpID=410dG8bdojL&ref=plSrch

The EVT Safe Zone mirror is the best helmet mirror. No arguing!

Just leave the mirror affixed to the helmet permanently. I find I rarely need to adjust mine. I got this one. It gives a fairly large field of a view compared to this one which I've also used.

I really really like this one. Can't ride without it.

Bell has some nice lightweight certified helmets with face guards. I see people on MTBs with them all the time.
https://www.amazon.com/Bell-Super-Adult-Helmet-Matte/dp/B07GT86ZVL/ref=mp_s_a_1_21?keywords=helmets+bell&qid=1567880818&s=gateway&sr=8-21

Depends on what style, weight and price range you want to be in:

• Demon Podium Mountain Bike Helmet is what I'd go with if I was looking for a full face. Weighs 2lbs, pretty sharp looking.
  
  
• Sector 9 Drift - Might turn more heads with its colors but offers great protection. Slightly pricey for my taste.
  
  
• Triple 8 Downhill Racer - black, more subtle styling. Pretty lightweight at under 1lb.

This is the one i have:

Demon Podium Full Face Mountain Bike Helmet (Black, L) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E5QK5VO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_o4wCCbB973W3P

A lot of people will recommend the S1 Lifer. They look nice, work really well, and have awesome customer support. Definitely a good helmet. Most people I've seen discussing them around reddit say to avoid Triple eight and pro-tec because they don't meet most safety standards, but they're better than nothing.

I personally wear a Critical CM-1 Helmet which I got off amazon for about $30. It's CPSC certified like the S1, but a little cheaper and I like how it looks.

Safezone mirror is my favorite. Huge and looks dorky as hell, but it's the only one I haven't found to be frustrating to use. 40 bucks on Amazon but if you're in the pacific NW most likely you can find it for half that at bike stores.

I've used this helmet mirror for years and it's great.

Look up the abus hyban....it has that skater visor commuter helmet vibe but also has ventilation and a rear led light.

Abus Hyban Urban Helmet with Integrated LED Taillight, Velvet Black, Medium https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MAW0WW5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ak0RCbYX6VXHG

I currently have a Bern helmet and love the style but the vents on my particular model suck

https://www.amazon.com/Safe-Bicycle-Helmet-Mirror-EVT/dp/B003LVHZ4O

Go forth and live in the future with this bad boy.

Don't cheap out on your head. I'm sure $30 can get you a decent helmet but better to be safe than sorry.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00FL7FZMA/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1499562189&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=bern+black+helmet&dpPl=1&dpID=41gSetr7saL&ref=plSrch

I got this because I like the way it looks but also cause it has hard foam to help with impact on top of cushion. I'm sure there are cheaper ones that do the same. I hear triple 8 is not bad.

Dude, I second this! With the slight downside of looking odd, a full face helmet is the way to go. I've been looking at a Demon Podium Mountain Bike Helmet. Lightweight, does NOT look like a motorcycle helmet and will keep my jaw in place.

I already have a light and a toolkit. I am saving up for this helmet and this shock pump. I will 100% get a dropper but right now I don't have enough money. I haven't realized how useful a dropper is until i rode somebody else bike with one and I felt so much better. Thank you!

I went with a Bell Super 3R, it has a removable chin bar, great ventilation, and is a MIPS helmet. Little spendy at $220 USD, but if it saves me from even one fall it's paid for itself. Also I use it with my mountain bike, so dual purpose makes the price a bit easier to justify.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GT86ZVL

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01J53ZFYI

Nice! I just ordered this one... I liked it the best after trying it at my lbs. It was super light but didn't feel like a toy; I don't need something for dh, just something extra, so I was looking more for weight and good ventilation.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00E5QK5VO/ref=ox_sc_act_image_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1QAFHETXP9PSU

I bought the helmet that has front lights and red rear lights. It looks just a little silly, but it feels very protective and also gives the bonus of being able to see at night. And even more importantly, cars seeing you at night! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MDNGR6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_PpACCb5SRX4T3

I ordered the $60 Bern Watts Summer EPS Matte Black L/XL https://www.amazon.com/Bern-Unlimited-Summer-Helmet-X-Large/dp/B00FL7LL5K/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1474856314&sr=8-17-spons&keywords=bern%2Bhelmet%2Bwatts%2Beps&smid=A2P97M9VQDMS1X&th=1&psc=1

Is this okay?

Full face helmet is unnecessary imo, particularly if you have some decent longboarding skills already. Need to know the basics regarding how to fall to keep yourself from landing on your face and hands. I feel that a huge ff helmet would be both unnatural to wear while riding and cumbersome once you get wherever youre going. If you do though, more power to you; you will be safer than I.

I recently got a Bern Macon helmet, which I like a lot:

Yeah this is the one I got. Got it when it was $30


BERN - Summer Team Macon EPS Helmet, Matte Black, Large https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FL7FZMA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pU4sDbDS9G5Y8

I use this one:

EVT Safe Zone Bicycle Helmet Mirror https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003LVHZ4O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_lNkADbMYMMZB2

Attaches to the helmet. Larger than some others. Pretty stable when riding. The trick is getting it adjusted. Before you ride you stand and fix the mirror so you can see the edge of your left shoulder.

I have one of these mounted to my helmet with one of these. They used to make a version with a flashing red light on the back but I haven't been able to find that in a while.

I just got mine in the mail. It's 1 dollar for shipping fyi but it is worth about 22 bucks.

Here is the one they shipped me: https://www.amazon.com/Critical-Cycles-Classic-Commuter-Helmet/dp/B01A6OTVS6?th=1&psc=1

Anything is better than nothing but personally I would go with something like this. More coverage, and it’s more comfy, I have a bell and it is super uncomfortable, luckily my girlfriend likes it and it’s not a waste of money.

TORCH APPAREL T2 Bike Helmet with... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017MDNGR6?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

I have NiteRider 1100 Lumen combo. I had 2 mount point on my handlebar and helmet. I love using helmet mount because it allow me see better in curve road and also it's more easier for me to look away from other biker/driver so I don't blind them with my bright light.

​

Just my 2 cent. More faster you riding (18+MPH) OR on bad road, you'll need higher lumen. Slower you go, lower lumen you need.

NiteRider 1100 OLED/100

NiteRider Lumina Helmet Mount Strap

I bought this Base camp helmet and I am really happy with it. The visor is attached with magnets and flips up out of the way when not in use. No fogging issues even on sweaty rides, and I like that my whole field of view is tinted.

I think it would also provide some decent eye protection if I crashed as well. I have a few I trimmed trees on my commute and sometimes I need to crouch to get under them. With my old helmet sometimes the leaves would brush my cheek, but now they bounce right off.

Only complaint is the rear light is useless.

Well worth the cheap price.

Interesting design. That is a concept that I never even thought of.

It has positive reviews on Amazon.
