Helmets work

The bike helmet company Lazer Helmets has some very creative advertising campaigns. We particularly like this one, borrowed from the blog Why Me?

Big head

Advice from a reader on helmets for "cranially blessed" individuals. Thanks!

"I've been looking, for quite some time, for a decent helmet that will fit those of us with excessive brain capacity that results in a larger skull that makes it hard to find a brain bucket that fits. My research has uncovered a few nice, inexpensive helmets in the larger sizes.

The Trek Vapor 3 Sport:http://penncycle.com/itemdetails.cfm?catalogId=39&id=12393

And my personal favorite, the Giro Atlas II:http://penncycle.com/itemdetails.cfm?catalogId=39&id=14908

All in larger sizes, all with decent looks, and all under $40. Thought you might like to know."

Stylish!

I love this beret helmet.

Mind your brain

The Safety is Sexy Campaign was highlighted this month in an expo on head & brain injury during the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania's Patient Safety Awareness Week.

Helmet survey

Kyle from Canada wrote in with this request:

As an avid cyclist I am genuinely stoked about your blog, which I stumbled across in the midst of my senior thesis in industrial design. For my senior year I have chosen to focus on examining the perception of cycling and cyclists in North American Urban Centres. For this section of the project I have chosen to focus on a specific stigma associated with cycling -–the dreaded helmet.

If you or any of your readers have time and are interested I would love your insights as to how a cycling helmet could be improved for women, or in-general. I have created a short survey here and would greatly appreciate any responses.

Thanks for your time and insight. If you have any further comments or would like more details about the project please don’t hesitate to contact me on my blog http://bicycleconcepts.blogspot.com/

Thanks! Kyle

Where o' where to put your stickers?

Says Little Joe -

Hey Gang, I wanted to thank you for the sticker you sent a while back! I've been spreading the message around to my family and friends, (and in the process convinced a bunch of them to go mountain biking and commuting with me as well as do a triathlon with me!) I just wanted to share some shots of my personal helmet, at rest. Keep up the great work. Little Joe

Do the test.

Te he he

It's kids week at The Safety is Sexy Campaign. Here's one of our favorite helmet cartoons!

One Got Fat 1963 Bicycle Safety

This is a great video of bicycle safety - especially for kids. It's pretty thorough, but we're amazed that there isn't even a mention of a helmet! This is one video that needs updating (but keep the monkeys!)

More cute kids

You'd look hipper in a helmet.

Even though The Safety is Sexy Campaign is geared towards an adult crowd, we couldn't pass up this hip kid sporting his helmet.Says Scott, his dad from West Virginia:

I take my sons and their friends (ages 6 - 10) for urban rides through the week, they see me in a helmet every time. On trail rides in our state forest they give unlidded riders a ribbing...so much fun to see a racer boy teased by a bunch of kids riding the same single track!

Being hard-headed is fashionable

It's about time for a shout out to all the fashionable kids wearing helmets out there. Over the next couple of days, we'll post photos of hip kids in helmets, sent in from our readers. For now, check out this great poster geared at young bikers. It's opening line says: "The newest look on the streets is a fashionable safety helmet." Right on!
