I’ve got it into my head that I need a cooler bike helmet.
I do the majority of my biking in regular street clothes because I’m often going to the library or store or to drop something off. Sure I wear sporty clothes on the way to the gym and for long recreational bike rides but most of my bike rides involves jeans or dresses and leggings (my new thing). My regular sporty bike helmet just does NOT go well with this type of biking and makes me feel dorky when I wear it.
Hence, I want a new bike helmet!
I’ve been looking online for new helmets and wanted to share a few here. I’d love opinions on them in the comments. It’s always good to get some second opinions before a purchase so let me know what you think of these helmets and which is your favorite!
I really like these Nutcase Helmets. These still look like bike helmets, but they have a retro look with a bunch of different styles. These seem to be popular with the urban hip crowd. I like all the different styles they have.
Nutcase Blackish Matte Bike Helmet
Nutcase Purple Heart Matte Bike Helmet
Nutcase Silver Sparkle Bike Helmet (sort of love this one the most!)
I like the Yakkay helmets since they seem to have perfected the idea of a helmet that looks like a hat.
Yakkay Tokyo Blue Strip Helmet
I love the Lazer Cityzen helmets. These are cheaper helmets than Yakkay that look just like you are wearing a hat! My favorite from them:
Lazer Cityzen Black Checker Bike Helmet
Lazer Cityzen Black Bike Helmet
I also really like Bern helmets which have different liners so you can use it for summer and winter things. For instance I could use it to bike and snowboard if I wanted to try cool tricks boarding (I normally don’t and don’t wear a helmet).
Bern Black Matte Helmet with Visor
Bern has a bunch of different styles regarding visor or not but the basics are the same. They have a variety of colors too.
I also like this Disco Ball Helmet from Instructables, that is if it was safe to actually use as a real helmet.
Helmets covered in glass are a bad idea. ;)
As you can tell, I like sparkly things. I’m leaning toward getting the sparkly nutcse helmet because I think it will make me happy to wear and match too. It’s cute and would be perfect for when I’m bike commuting in Memphis.
Let me know in the comments which one you like best!

I LOVE
I LOVE
and my pick would be the polka dots.
I had no idea we adult types could get fun helmets, either!

We can! I haven’t seen many in the bike stores around here though but online I found all these options and more. So fun! :)
I don’t know why but the polka dots immediately screamed “Mary” to me. :-)
Probably because I LOVE POLKA DOTS! :)
Third vote for polka dots!!!! So fun =)
Cute! I have a bern and love it.
I had no idea there was so much choice! I am so keeping these in mind for when I get a bike. I’m loving the blue stripe helmet cause I think that’d go with dresses and trousers and i’m also loving the Lazer styles.
I think you would rock with the disco ball!!
Mary! I like the shiny glass disco ball one. And I like the hat one. But honestly, bike helmets are never really going to be cute, so I would just get the safest cheapest helmet and spend your extra dollars on lipstick or cute sandals or something.

Haha. Well I have to buy a helmet to ride in Memphis anyway as I don’t want to lug mine here back and forth across the ocean. So no matter what I have to get a helmet for the time I’m in Memphis and I figured I would get a cuter one (even if it’s not really cute and is still in fact a helmet). Ya know?
I don’t ride bikes but I love the polka dots! :-)

OF COURSE I like the shiny glittery ones – the Bern also. It’s sporty.
I like the Lazer ones…love that they look like a hat and not a helmet! i might look into one of those…
Ooh these are awesome helmets. I need a new helmet. I just have a cheap one from the Warehouse. That one that looks like a hat is so cute but would it really work effectively as a helmet? And I wonder if people might stop you because they don’t think you really have a helmet on, haha! I really love those first 4.
I don’t think that the darker helmets are your taste, I see you as a person that enjoys life to the fullest, you seem to be a person that wouldn’t wear something that brings you down, dark and dreary are not a part of you. I would think that you would actually chose the Nutcase Dots Bike Helmet. It’s lively, colorful and it can be worn with just about any type of clothing.
I really like the polka dot one! I love that you bike everywhere that is amazing!
I love the striped helmet one for going to work but the polka dot one is so much fun! I would have a hard time deciding!!!
i like the tokyo one that looks like a real hat. ive never seen one of those before!! or, maybe i have and didnt even realize it! But i was thinking the same thing as Caity, would the police give you a ticket for not wearing a helmet because it doesnt look like you are? I guess they would just stop you and then you’d show them and they’d let you go free. :) It’s cute though!
