Your helmet.
« on: July 20, 2015, 11:54 AM »
Just wondered what people use as a safety helmet (if anything). I'm going to be getting a cruiser and may well ride around London on it as well as local trails etc.

I've never worn a cycle helmet before but London is a dangerous place for cyclists. What do (or would) you lot do?

I know people will disagree but I never wear a helmet on my bmx, mtb or on my road bike. I just don't like them, I did buy one but it's still in the box somewhere

I wear a piss pot on ramps, a full face for racing (both times lol)
Never worn one on the roads though. Apologies if that offends anyone but I don't have any kids to worry about setting a bad example to

I got this from my lbs for £30, it does the job. I've not worn it for over 2 years though.

Can't do full face, got a POC helmet. Not the cheapest but safety first and all that,  very comfortable tho. Only for skatepark use. Nowt on street.

Yes, I can't really ride around London with a full face helmet on, purple or not.

Never worn one before but most helmets I see people wear are the ones with cutouts all the way along them, look a bit funny on a cruiser, skate style helmets will look a bit funny on an old knacker like me.

I've got one of those helmets, don't know which version it is. Protection wise it's way good but it feels a bit big & clunky if you get what I mean!

You could always customise it a bit  :daumenhoch:
