    Adjusting to the Citi helmet
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    After my old faithful Bell bike helmet saved my head from a flip-over fall, I bought the Bell Citi universal helmet as a replacement. I wasn’t fully convinced that a universal fit would work, but it does. Adjusting the straps to fit was easy enough when following the instructions. I found it necessary to read the instructions with the helmet at hand due to all the models covered by one set of ‘universal’ instructions.

    The fit is great, totally comfortable and secure. While I may not go any faster, I do look good!

    Perfect bike Helmet for a girl like me : )

    You will don’t look like a total DORK!

    I hate bike helmets this one is great. You don’t look like your related to an alian. I got the one with fabric so it looks more like a hat.

    The fact it has a high safety rating is even better.

    I have a really cool comfort bike and now a cool bike helmet too!

    Love it.

    Excellent commuter helmet
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I got this helmet specifically to use for commuting to work and back (approximately 10 miles each way) and I chose the yellow color for visibility. I’ve used it for about a month and so far I am very pleased with it. The retention system is quite easy to adjust for a snug and comfortable fit with or without a balaclava. It seems like an excellent helmet overall, and fortunately I haven’t crash tested it yet.

    Great helmut for visibility/commuting
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    This helmut is especially great for commuters. As a commuter, you need a little more coverage, in case it rains. Additionally, there is rear loop on this helmut, where you can put a rear flasher. I find this especially important because it brings the level of the rear light up to the eye level of drivers – in case they don’t notice the rear light on your bike. Finally, I also use a visor light on this helmut. The soft silicon pad on the visor helps to keep the visor light from slipping. You always want to be seen, especially if you do your commuting after the sun goes down.

    Great fit
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    Let me start off by saying that I’m a casual bike rider and have not owned many helmets. The last one I owned was simply the one offered at the shop that I bought my bike at that fit. So when I noticed that the pads had completely deteriorated and the outer shell had a small crack I went looking online for a quick replacement. I thought I would opt for the cheapest one I could find but after reading reviews I picked this one. I’m so glad I did, it’s so much more comfortable than I thought a bike helmet could be and very easy to adjust for a good fit. Well worth the money!

    good value, good price, great looks
    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    good value and price, great looks compared with some of the other freaky, multi-colored helmets. seriously, they don’t look good. you have to really want some attention i guess but then again, the hard core NYC bikers are all about flash. For me, give me a 10 mile country ride on my mountain bike and i’m fine with this helmet.

    Relective Material is Sloppy

    I like the helmet color. Actually, I had emailed a request to Bell/Giro this previous summer to create a helmet in the hi-vis green that has become so popular in recent years. While they did get back to me on another matter, they never did notify me that this color was now available in the Citi helmet. I found it accidentally while surfing the web.

    great helmet

    I really like this helmet, it fits well (and is adjustable) and looks good on. I really like the charcoal fabric edition, it looks less helmety and more of an accessory. The sun visor is removable.

    Thousands of miles with it, only helmet I’d buy now.
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I’m a bicycle commuter, but much of my commuting begins with a plane flight. Been over a year I’ve had this girl and let me tell ya why it’s the only helmet I’d buy now:

    1. It’s lived without a mark though plane flights, banging around on pack, stuffed in suitcase with my folding bike, accidental drops, etc. So A for durability. Yes, the plastic is fused to the styrofoam, plus the styrofoam doesn’t crack off as many have done with one drop. Plastic covers it pretty low.

    2. Just today I noticed the rear head size adjust mechanism is so easy I can even do it with gloves midride (had it larger to go over my hood until I warmed up and took hood off).

    3. It’s so comfortable just this morning I found myself searching for it, when duh, it was on my head.

    4. The built in hi-viz and reflector tape are a must have for me, long before it helps protect my noggin in a crash, I’d prefer it help me *avoid* one. (get it in orange!)(also like the rear light strap)

    5. Not too hot in summer, and as I said, easily adjusts to go over hood/hat in winter.

    Folks have said it ain’t too cool to look at. If you say so. Is that like how the weekend riders in full spandex are really cooler than the riders who are out every day? Whatever.

    Happy with Helmet
    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    This is a great value for the price. I too purchased a black one because it was lower in price and free shipping. Fits so well I hardly know it is there except for the wind noise. For some reason it is really noisy compared to the last helmet I had and when I turn my head left or right, or tip the helmet up, the noise is greatly reduced. It becomes annoying as I love quiet rides along my country roads. I wonder if it is just this particular one or if I don’t have the fit right. Will have to do some experimenting. Other than that, I think I made a good choice.

    Excellent helmet for the price
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I purchased this helmet because it received excellent reviews and the price was right. The helmet fits comfortably and the dial adjustment is perfect for making adjustments once the helmet is on your head. I purchased it in bright yellow for visibility when on streets. All in all a great purchase.

    Works for Me
    Rating:4 out of 5 stars
    At age 74 I’ve never owned a bicycle helmet before, so I can’t do a comparison. People wearing them look so foolish I wasn’t going to get one but wife and friends kept nagging me. I got this one because it had a top rating in Consumer Reports and didn’t look as dorky as the multi-colored ones with the pointy rear end. That is, it’s minimal dorky for these dorky things. I’ve been using it for about a month (I ride every day). It’s so comfortable ten seconds after I put it on I forget it’s there.

    The cam snap buckles make the chin strap easy to adjust, but the reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because the left one has come open twice. I didn’t know when it happened and only noticed it when taking the helmet off and realized the adjustment on that side was loose.

    Adjustable, a great fit!

    I am a petite woman and I really like my Glow in the Dark/Titanium Citi bike helmet. The adjustment is fabulous.

    saved my life!!
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I was recently in a bad cycling accident and was hit by a car, of course it was the drivers fault. On impact the helmet took all the damage and shattered leaving my head fine!The helmet saved my life, with out it i would be dead, but i was not left unscathed. I shattered my L5 vertabrae and had my spinal column fused and i am currently recovering and can’t wait to ride again

    crash worthy
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    This helmet fits me well and offers good protection. I’m on my second one. The first saved my forehead/nose/teeth once when I landed face first; I had a dent on the front of the helmet combined with mild bruising on my chin and chest. A poor fitting helmet would have simply been pushed out of the way.

    Style-wise, I like that it does not try and look like something that a racer would wear, or go the other way and try to look too alternative. I mean, I doubt you will receive compliments but there is something to be said for understated design.

    I wanted a helment that didn’t look like I was pretending to be a serious biker and this fit the bill!

    Great fit and look
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    I have a Bell helmet that I could not get to fit correctly and I didn’t like the pointed back style of the helmet. I found this helmet and ordered it due to the adjustable fit and rounded back style. I have a large size head and the helmet adjusted and fit perfectly. I’m afraid if my head were bigger it wouldn’t have fit. Aside from that, it’s a great looking helmet and well made. To put things in perspective, I typically wear a size large to XL motorcycle helmet.

    The fit is awful
    Rating:1 out of 5 stars
    This helmet at first glance looks like a great value until… you try to put it on, if you have a head that’s bigger than, say, a peanut. “Universal Sizing” is NOT universal in the case of this awfully designed product. Don’t buy it.

    good buy
    Rating:5 out of 5 stars
    A very nice helmet. Feels sturdy. Yellow color plus built in reflectors a real safety advantage.Fits well. Easily adjust. I ride year round and it quickly switches sizes to fit over my head with or without a wool cap on. Price was half of others I looked at with same consumer Reports safety rating. Will probably bye a second to keep one at another biking location
