Shouldn't you replace your helmet every year or so? Isn't it important for, uh, safety or something like that?I want this. It would go perfectly with my bike Buttercup. Michellie Jones wears one, don't I deserve one too?
I just want to go on the record that I truly hate the March issue of Inside Triathlon. It's a gear guide that has me salivating.
And don't I need some new wheels too? How much would some extra speed cost? Their cheapest ones listed are $1300 per pair. Sigh.
I did order some new multi-lens cycling sunglasses on sale ($20) today (I'd like some fancier ones but I just keep breaking them), as well as a new saddle, a Selle Italia Lady Gel Flow on sale for $80. I've had continual saddle problems for the last 3000-some miles, despite trying numerous models and making various fitting adjustments. I'm hoping some denser gel in a higher-quality leather saddle will fix it. Please.
Although I did conclude that only a guy would name a bike saddle Flow. Flow, whether light or heavy, is not a positive image for women when thinking about their bike saddle. Don't get me started ranting about the cycling industry. . . .

I think I read somewhere that you should replace a helmet every 2-3 years barring any impact to it.
But, hey if you want the snazzy colors then no sense in waiting!
No matter what they call it, I really like bike stuff that is filled with gel - whether it be bike shorts, gloves or seats - its all great and a terrific invention.
Our tri club ordered helmets with our team colors. They match my bike wonderfully. But the $165 price tag doesn't match my budget.
Team helmets? Wow, I haven't heard of that outside of the pros! You must belong to one of those really good clubs! In our local club, we're pretty much happy if we finish....
