Helmets
I want to get a helmet. I have this nagging sense that if I don't, I'm sort of asking to get mowed down and concussed. I haven't worn a bike helmet since I was a child, and the last two stores I went to were very unhelpful.
Where would you recommend a new cyclist go to get a good, affordable helmet? I'd like to be able to find a store clerk who knows his/her stuff and is willing to help a n00b with this sort of thing.
edit: You guys are awesome. Thank you so much for all the advice/encouragement. I bought a helmet today after trying it on with the help of a more experienced friend, and I'm very happy with my purchase.
