I'm close to comleting my first fixed gear bike. I live in Sydney and unlike the UK you have to wear a helmet cycling on the road by law or you get fined. The cops are on to it.
I have a couple of Moutain bike helmets but they will look ridicluous on the new bike?
Does anyone know of a reasonably cool looking road helmet, do they actually exist?

Cheers

See the search bit at the top? Type "helmet" in there and all your prayers will be answered.
Love you x

Try one that fits your head, but make sure it's compatible with a reverse shim, for fixed gear use.

The story: J-D-S-H - tall, handsome, thirtysomething, rakish good looks, could pass for a toff on a duck hunt. Chrissyg: his gal, sweet, tender, kind, but - heartbreakingly - o'erseas, on the other side of the world, having a gap year or a sabbatical, you figure. He says to her: listen hun, let's save the phonebills, yep let's even save skype for that special occasion. She says: how, dearest? He says: yo earth, join the lfgss thing i be plugged into theze dayz. She: WTF? He: Trust in a nigger, word is bond.

Chrissyg joins - 07.28.08. J-D-S-H can't believe it. His gal, on his forum, on their forum. Across time and space they can communicate - but J-D-S-H is a man as well as a gent. Pming can't be used for trysts, least not in his book. He schools her quietly in the ways of the forum.

09.08.08, 0033hrs. She blunders terribly with an obvious question about helmets.

J-D-S-H swoops in like an armoured prince on a bungee, soothing his sweetheart before she can get flamed by the dragons that linger and snoop. He urges her to think on her approach. He shows how she can empower herself. And through it all he is as gentle with her as they will be with their first-born.

The stylish helmet brought to us by the pinnacle of design! (the Danes)

that paris one is pretty darn cool

Those Yakkay helmets are half a good idea, but note how in all the pictures the models are girls with voluminous hair spilling out from under their fancy hats.

It disguises the fact that, with a short haircut, you're basically going to look like you're wearing an enormous hat that sticks out an inch from your head in every direction.

they have the 'brainwear' slogan too, maybe they wanted it that way?


The problem with them is, that its just a regular skid lid/piss pot helmet underneath with minimal venting and undoubtedly quite heavy.

And theres no shortage of innofensive looking skate helmets out there. Making the helmet a little pointless.

Why not DIY?

chrissyg: Giro Atmos, or similar..
