Re: Great bike helmets - that I can get overseas

I use a Giro Transfer. It is the cheapest helmet I've found that has
decent ventilation. It is slightly less well ventilated and 20g heavier
than the Atmos / Ionos, but costs 20-25% of the price. The difference in
price is easily the cost of a weekend away camping and riding. 

Ken & I are both recommending road style helmets. I think they're fine
for muni and road unicycling. They may be not as good protection if
you're doing loads of trials or if you hit your head a lot, but for
general riding they are a fair bit cooler, which is nice, particularly
if you're in somewhere warm. 

How long are you in France? Are you going to get some riding in the
mountains in while you're there? The Alps are well worth the trip if
you have time - there is some great lift assisted riding if you like
downhilling. You can get trains from Paris to some parts of the alps
(something like a 5 hour train ride though).
