Like in many places, sports helmets are required in the Czech Republic when cycling on roads and are a pretty smart idea even off. And, luckily there is no limit from designs to choose from. Or is there? Ondrej Stanek – a student of sculpture studying in Brno – found it impossible to imagine seniors, for example, making us of the latest space-age helmets. Somehow, the picture didn’t fit. Instead, he took inspiration from an old staple of the Czech countryside, the “radiovka”, and designed helmets for seniors in the shape of the famous beret. Already, his pieces have gotten a fair amount of press.
Thanks Jason for the link
Great idea, if covered with nice fabrics (maybe in a way to easy change them according to the mood) will be even better. Are they alredy in production???
Wow! Is this legal? We sell the Dutch citybike (modified for North America) in our Vancouver shop and this helmet would be perfect for our clientele who don’t want to wear the cone-shaped racing nor mountain biking gear.
I would love to know if this is road tested, availability and price. If anyone has any other links to cool and stylish helmets for everyday riding I would love to know.
Jane
that is using your head
