Making Helmets Fun

April 7, 2012 CGR 8 comments
I get a lot of compliments on my red and white polka dot helmet by Nutcase. Trust me, I love my helmet, it’s fun, cute, and definitely gives a different quirky vibe to biking. I’m not a huge fan of wearing helmets but I do wear one on my commutes and I get a lot of cyclist and drivers smiling and saying “I love your helmet.” I LOVE IT TOO!!
I remember my first helmet being pearly white which I decorated with a reflective bow on the back. In a way it became “me” while I added some fun stuff to personalize it. I love this helmet differently though not just because it’s fun colorful and has polka dots but because it speaks a bit more about the fun side to bicycling. Biking is fun and shouldn’t everything else we do on it be fun too?! 
I’ve seen a lot of cyclist make their helmets their own by adding reflective dots, stickers, toys, or dinosaurs. Nutcase designs really fun helmets too, which is probably why I now sport one theirs. If I was going to wear a helmet, I was going have fun with it. And find a way to love it. I know I’m not the only one who hates wearing helmets why not have a little fun with it right? 
Do you do anything to make your helmet be a bit more “you?”

@Magali, I got these eye glasses in Paris at a department store, can't remember the name! so sorry. I got them to protect my eyes from dust and allergies when riding my bike day and night.

I have the Nutcase helmet in Hula. I love it! It's great, not only does it offer protection, but it is whimsical to boot!
