I have just about totally moved from a mountain biker to a roadie. Not a bad thing at all. I started out as a motocross rider went roadie in college (Mtn. bikes were pretty primitive way back when) and now back on the road.
While I have embraced my roadie side I can’t give up my mountain bike helmet. The one with the visor that I, at least, think looks very cool.
My question is how much am I giving up in aerodynamic drag with this helmet? I am not the next Mark Cavendish so I am not looking at places on any podium. But some of my fellow riders tell me I am giving up a lot of speed with this type of helmet. True or perhaps not?
