Heads up - Cheap helmets for small heads

Just got a helmet through from http://www.onyourbike.co.uk seems all their size small giro's are crazy cheap. Got an Giro E2 in black for 27 quid! Not sure if it is this years or probably more likely last years model, says manufactured Jul 07 in the back, but who the hell cares, they are soooo cheap, loads of other models too, including crazy TT style one.

Have fun people.

I need a new helmet but I have a damn large head, perhaps a casserole or large saucepan may be better. A colander might even do.

On a more serious note, I should probably get a helmet.

Anyone spotted an all white one with peak for £20?

riding position.

on a racer (on the drops) your head is pointing downwards, your eyes are at the top of their movement. A peak obstructs this view. (this is why cycling caps have small peaks that can be flipped up)

on a mountain bike, you sit upright, a peak helps to keep rain and forest shite off your glasses/out of your eyes. Riding a woodland trail on a sunny day often gives you a rapidly changing light as you move under different densities of tree cover, a peak helps even things out for your eyes.

obviously this isn't true in everyone's case, but it's a generalisation

I currently wear a baseball cap when riding to keep drizzle of my glasses. It doesnt obstruct me, but I have to do it up real tight as it can blow off.
