the old "bell helmet" slogan pops into mind..................
"if youv'e got a $10 head, buy a $10 helmet"

thanks SL for your offer.
Are gears at my price range good enough?

Yeah but on the flip side of that, there's no need to spend 5 grand on a pair of gloves you'll use twice a year.

I think my helmet was around $300, gloves $130.

just go to a bike store and try on various helmets. MCAs and bikebiz are good. Also have a discoutn card if you want
