Hi,

I commute about 13km each way through Dublin city every day to work. I always wear a helmet - its a cheap Lidl/Aldi helmet.

I was out cycling with a friend today and he was wearing a relatively expensive (>€100) helmet. We discussed the safety differences between the two.

Is an expensive helmet much safer than a cheap one?

Is it worth spending approx one hundred euro to buy a 'better' one? Or will I endure with my cheap one?

Thanks!
