Bike wrecks happen, despite how confident of a cyclist you are, how infrequent you ride dangerously, or how safely you navigate traffic.  We’re not trying to scare you.  But beyond the fun and freedom riding will bring you, the only other certainty is that at some point you run the risk of hitting the pavement.

That’s why it’s important to take the right precautions.  The easiest thing you can do is protect your head.  Sure, maybe you’re worried helmets look clunky or dumb, or are afraid they’ll mess up your hair.

But you only get one brain and it doesn’t take a lot to mess it up.  Even minor accidents can cause serious head injury, something which everyone can agree to is something best avoided.

The best thing is, modern helmets are designed to be sleek, comfortable, light and most importantly good-looking.  Our personal favorite has been this line of helmets from Giro.  Check out the below models and see if there’s something you like.

Currently we’re able to offer these at 15% off standard retail price if you preorder.  20% off for Natooke Riders Club members.
