Let’s face it, bike helmets have virtually no fashion sense whatsoever. We’re all happy to overlook this fact given that these much needed devices do wonders for protecting our noggins should we have the misfortune of crashing. Still the typical protective helmet looks more at home on top of one of the Transformers than on a fashion conscious bicyclist cruising around town on two wheels.

All that’s about to change however with the new line of styled out bike helmets from the Danish company Yakkay. It’s a simple concept to be sure. Take a hard, spherical bicycle helmet (seen below) then fit a cool looking hat on top of it and voila!, you’ve gone from trashy to classy by simply giving your bike helmet a cover of its own (like those above).

What’s the catch you ask? The cool looking helmets are currently only available in stores in Denmark and Germany. But many of these stores do indeed have the internets and will be happy to take your order and hard earned money online - even if it is in dollars.
