    Chain Reaction Cycles will be significantly cheaper than Irish retailers, as there is no VAT (the UK does not charge VAT on helmets)

    Well, no cycle lanes and a lot of busy roundabouts, so certainly my commute is more danergous...

    Got a Bell Alchera at my local for €60 2 weeks ago. Good fit, plenty vents and not too heavy.
