Best for the ladies
Described by the Evening Standard as “The Best cycling helmets for Pashley Princesses”, online ladies’ cycling fashion retailer Sawako Furuno sells some of the loveliest women’s bike helmets we’ve ever seen (pictured above). Pick from an array of different styles and patters, from crocodile and leopard print to pretty floral and checked designs.

All the helmets feature a feminine peak and comfortable adjustable straps too. They’re also quite reasonably priced with many designs available for under £70.

Best for the boys
Or if you’re the kind of guy who wants to look suave no matter what situation you’re in, beat the helmet hair blues in these snazzy trilby style helmets from Play.com. These Yakkay Yakkay helmets With Tokyo Technic covers are definitely anything but boring. They feature rounded ear straps and adjustment buckles in polished stainless steel.

The hat part is like a cover for your helmet, so can be adjusted for ventilation or taken off to wash. The Yakkay Helmets come in a variety of designs (pictured above) so you can always change the look to match your outfit.

Best for the kids
Sometimes it can be a nightmare to convince kids to put a helmet on. But with these gorgeous designs from Halfords (pictured above), you’ll be struggling to get them to take it off! Whatever your little ones are into, pick from an array of designs from Hello Kitty and Ben 10 to Disney Princesses and Cars and so much more.

These helmets start from as low as £8.50, so you don’t have to worry about forking out too much when you know their favourite cartoon is sure to change within a matter of weeks!
