Cool Bike Helmets Shocker

Far too many cyclists are cruisin' for a bruisin' - why? Because they're too vain to wear their desperately uncool cycling helmets. Two natty new solutions have materialised:

Firstly there's snowboard stylee from Japanese designer Sawako Furuno - a classic case of if-I-can't-find-it-in-shops-I'll-design-it-myself. £60.

Then there's Stash for people who don't mind looking the business on the bike, but can't be done having to take a deeply uncool and cumbersome helmet into a pub or somesuch... So-called Stash because the helmet conveniently folds in on itself - like so! £50 including postage and packing. Far less painful than a hole in the head.
