Update on MET Forte review: after 18 months of use

After my review back in July 2010, I have been using my MET Forte cycling helmet nearly every day since. Recently I have also used it for my intermodal commute.

I have been very happy with the fit and performance of this helmet in regards to comfort. It is now showing some signs of wear and tear, plus a few accidental knocks during transfers.

As I mentioned in a previous post, my commuting regime has changed considerably.
Not only I am cycling a longer distance on a very busy route through Greater London; I am also making use of what is commonly known as intermodal commute, using a Dahon folding bicycle.

Change of commute

No more commuting on blissful Berkshire country lanes for me. Not any more.
I now commute in the hustle and bustle of Central London.
