Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

Jayloo and I have been discussing just getting over it and wearing helmets, as neither of us wants to be married to a drooling brain damaged poop machine (I think I've already achieved this status) I got hit by a car a few months ago and, touch wood, came out nearly unscathed. I flew over the bonnet of the car and could have easily landed on my noggin and.....who knows?

Anyway, I hate the way most helmets make you look like some sort of cyber dork or your about to ride on the short bus. Someone had posted a link ages ago to some helmets that actually looked like normal hats, They were pricey but looked interesting. I cant seem to find that thread anywhere. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

or did you mean the low key ones?

I work at cyclechic.co.uk have a look there at the Yakkay helmets, let me know what you think. Personally I'm not so into them, they don't have good enough ventilation.

^^Hey dude, they're kind of cool in a hot way ;)

just get a giro monza and be done with it!

Ha! maybe when you get to a certain age vanity becomes less of an issue!
I'm speaking for myself, of course ;)
ie any ole thing will do as long as it keeps me cerebral thingy in tact!!

*picture it... little girls looking up at mummy..lips quivering, eyes wet... 'Mummy, where's daddy?'
'well girls, daddy wanted to wear his really cool Rapha cap into work this morning......'
No shame, helmets are good IMO

isn't this the point where some fuckwit chimes in and says that they don't make any difference and actually make you ride less safely so that's why they don't have to wear one and they're not just being childish at all?

if you want to wear a helmet just wear one, why the need to debate about it?

i like lamp.

I love lamp.

do you really love the lamp or are you just saying that because you saw it?

i'm in a glass case of emotion!

i immediately regret this decision
