Cycling to work can be dangerous for the best of cyclists, so wearing a helmet is something I’d definitely advocate. The problem is, most people I know don’t like to wear helmets simply because they feel helmets will make them look silly.

So when I found this new range of helmets by YAKKAY I thought what an excellent way for people to wear helmets as they cycle to work. The YAKKAY helmets are not like the usual ’space age’ helmets most cyclists use, they are as stylish as a cycling helmet can be and fully adjustable as seen here. The Danish team behind YAKKAY philosophy for bicycle helmet design is “where safety requirements and style are united and equally valued.” There is definitely a need to highlight the dangers of not wearing helmets cycling now that so many people are taking advantage of the Cycle to Work Scheme – at least now people have a contemporary solution to protect their head that is both safe and fashionable.
