 Nice Helmet June 26, 2008
I don't know anything about bike helmets, but this was cheap, fits good, and I don't look stupid wearing it... fine by my book.
 Citi helmet does the job well and doesn't look bad either... June 20, 2008

The Bell Citi has not only passed all bike helmet impact tests with flying colors, but doesn't have the spine-like protrusions on the back which can snag on the pavement if you get hit and cause neck injury. The smooth, rounded, stylish back-end is an ideal shape for a bike helmet. It looks so retro-mod to me, like a 1960's Motorcycle or scooter helmet - stylized for bicycle riders.
I feel good and really quite slick in this helmet, also 14 large vents keep my head cool but don't compromise structural integrity like some more expensive bike helmets. More than 14 vents is probably superfluous to most people anyway. Unless your a cyclist that is a racer you don't need an aerodynamic helmet. The neligible difference it would make at normal speeds isn't worth the extra cash. The Bell Citi only gets four stars because the ear-straps are scratchy, a minor annoyance rather than a detractor. Buy the Citi, it is the best helmet I have owned thus far.
so far so good June 19, 2008
I have only worn this helmet a few times, but it fits well and is pretty comfortable. It was a great bargain and I got the silver which looks great. It's definitely not a swoopy looking helmet, but I think all of them look goofy so I am not bothered by the way it looks. the only complaint is that when I try to pull the strap in the back down to make it more comfortable, I hit the adjusting wheel and have to tighten it again. However, I think that's because I'm still used to my old helmet that had a different mechanism in the back.
I love the Citi June 16, 2008

This is the second Citi helmet I have owned. I still have the first one, but I bought two more so the whole family had nice, slim helmets.
This helmet has every feature you need, including a cool ratchet wheel adjuster in the back. My son is 9, and I have a big head, and the same helmet adjusts to fit us both.
Slim, low profile, clean lines, plenty of vents and optional add-ons (mirror, winter kit). Great design by Bell!
Cool design June 15, 2008
I bought two of these helmets after reading many reviews including safety. I really like the Citi design. The helmet feels light, and there is plenty of ventilation to keep your head cool. The straps are easy to adjust and don't get tangled. I would buy again.
