I know, not quite the right forum, but I would like to hear your opinion. I need a new bicycle helmet and the selection in various bike stores has me rather confused.
Apart from colors, shape and prices, no one could really tell me what the higher quality helmet for $200 do better or how they differ exactly.
Here are my requirements:
The helmet must be able to be worn for 6-8 hours, even in high heat (35c).
Insect protection at the openings in front.
The helmet should have a sun flap, which is suitable for the different seat situation (angle) in the up and trike or can be adjusted.
It should be a high quality helmet.

Bought my bike today.
Man this reminds me of a different time. I’ve had 7 Cannondale bikes over the years. Everything from the Caad 8 up for to the full carbon slice. Had a F3 mountain and F7 beater bike too. Sold my last 3 two years ago when I got really sick. You still rocking this Cannondale 7 odd years later?

Nope. That frame cracked after a year or so maybe. Then the replacement frame cracked as well after just a few months. Never again.
I now have a Giant Propel for road, Obed Boundary for gravel, and a Giant Trance for MTB although looking to replace this once the bike part shortage calms down a bit.
I used to be a big Cannondale fan but I had heard the quality was getting more questionable and my local independent dealer stopped carrying them about a year and a half ago. I never had any issues with mine but maybe I just got lucky. I don’t have a road bike yet but I bought a Marin mountain bike back in May.

ohhhhh nice was considering a Marin myself because I can get a discount on their stuff through work. You like yours?
Definitely like it. I’m very happy I got it. They only had them in stock for 1 week at my local shop when they became a dealer. Zero regrets grabbing it

Nice. Forgot name of model I was looking at but looking to upgrade my FS to one of their carbon frames.
Its the 29er model. I really like it. Smoother ride than either my old F3 or F7.
I would definitely consider them when I go looking to purchase another bike

Definitely cycling is a great cardio exercise. In this case, I recommend that you look at your bike. According to the rules of bike use, I recommend comparing your bike with this table.

What's your current daily driver? Ive got a red All City Pony Express with a basket and lemme tell you shes cute
Well, this thread has certainly been dormant for a while. Just figured in case anyone was interested, although I don't do triathlons I do use Rouvy and this seems like it would be interesting to triathletes (or cyclists who like flat courses lol):
ROUVY now offers exclusive access to riding on IRONMAN courses.We'll be offering an initial selection of official IRONMAN courses around the world and regularly adding new ones. If you're training for a future IRONMAN event, you can ride on accurate real-world courses, filmed on location, to get you race-ready for your big day. For the rest of the community, you will get simply great flat and looong courses.
Welcome to IRONMAN | ROUVY
I generally prefer Zwift to Rouvy but Rouvy is very cool for riding on real-world roads all over the world.

Yup.
Just 'cause I want to put it down somewhere, I'll post my 2024 "year-in-cycling" summary.
I started the year with 3 road bikes: old-school steel, sporty Al-alloy club-rider, and carbon-composite sportive bike. My wife also started with 3 bikes- a hybrid and two carbon-composite bikes. She's a little taller than I am- yet I can ride her bikes tolerably. I started 2024 with the goal: 1000 miles on each of the six bikes.
Then, she came down with a virulent case of "n+1," and bought 3 more bikes-- a steel-frame of her own, a carbon-composite with our first 'bro-set' (Sram Red), and a Ti-alloy bike with our first 'gruppo' (Campagnolo Chorus). Well... there was no way I was going to ride 1000 miles on each of 9 bikes, so I re-cast my goal as 1000 km on each of the nine bicycles.
Made it. 6500 road miles last year.
