Anyone know of any bicycle helmets that don't make you look like a complete cunt? So, fashionable bicycle helmets.

Pic related; not one of those god awful things

>> No.7647465

Any helmet that's going to be more 'fashionable' probably isn't going to be as suitable for roadriding. (People usually like those 'skate/BMX' kinda helmets better, so do I, but they're for just that, not for normal riding.)

>> No.7647469

Would like something with a similar shape to 60s scooter helmets. Everything I find that I can get in the UK is for women.

Like these here. Obviously with a less in-your-face colour scheme

Impossible, OP.

In any case being braindead isn't /fa/ so just put the fucking thing on and stop whining. If you cycle every day it's not a matter of "if" you'll have a major accident, it's a matter of when.

That's not true. The helmet debate has been going on forever. I don't want to get into it, I spend enough time on >>>/n/, but still.

Unless you're doing tricks or riding in a fucking race, fuck helmets.

I'd rather not die, yes. Bike helmets just look so fucking awful. I've already got one like in the OP picture, but I was hoping there'd be something out there that was safe AND didn't look like shit.

Quite like the look of this.

Looks suspiciously like a horse-riding helmet though.

Well, if you have approximately 550 USD to spend, you can buy one of these. Google 'invisible helmet.' Or you can wait a decade for the price to come down and for them to become commonplace, and hope and pray that you don't get hit by a car in the meantime.

this is retarded. What if you fall on your face or run face first into a pole or something? If you have a regular helmet then that wont happen.

WHOA YOU MEAN A GYROSCOPICALLY CONTROLLED PORTABLE COLLAR AIRBAG ISN'T CHEAP HOLY SHIT WHAT KIND OF A WORLD DO WE LIVE IN
>>7647576
>What if you fall on your face
Then the collar detects a fall and activates as designed.
>or run face first into a pole or something?
Then you deserve a Darwin award

Deal with its shortcomings or buy an ordinary fugly helmet, these are your only two options

I really like the abus kranium because it shows of some cool technology (pic related)
Nutcase makes a LOT of different colours/prints on helmets styled like bmx helmets - these are quite allright.
Ribcap makes a folding bicycle helmet hat which suposedly stiffens up when you fall down.
Of course an earo helmet like the lazer is the only brand if you want to look fast (pic related)
