Urban Bike Helmets

Style and visibility

The urban helmet stands out with a sleek and elegant look, similar to a skate helmet, that fits well with everyday outfits. It prioritises visibility and comfort: bright colours, integrated rear lighting, like on the Abus Urban-I, and a visor for rain and sun protection. The Kask Urban, from the Italian brand, and the CGM Ebi, with a vintage style inspired by motorcycle helmets, combine style and protection.

The rest of the gear

Urban cycling gear also comes in various forms:

• Reflective Accessories.
• Rain Jackets.
• Rain Trousers.
• Beanies and Neck Warmers.

All the gear can be found on the gear page.

Space saving

For users of shared bikes and scooters, the foldable helmet solves the clutter issue: the Fend One and the New Lane, available with a MIPS system, fold flat to fit into a backpack or handbag. The Mavic Speedcity, from the French brand founded in 1889, the Lazer Armor, and the Lazer Maze, equipped with KinetiCore technology, complete the urban offering.

For the younger ones

For children, the Crazy Safety helmets, shaped like animals, the Disney Stitch models, Marvel Spidey and Spiderman, and the Lazer Nutz make helmets fun. The Bobike Candy and the Limar Kid Pro protect the little ones in baby seats. The head circumference is measured, the dial and straps are adjusted, and the helmet should be replaced after a fall. Replacement foams restore comfort and hygiene.

Good deals

Great deals can also be found in good deals, promotions, clearance, sales, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and items shipped within 24h are prepared and sent out in 24 hours. The key events of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday in late autumn, the year-end holidays, winter sales, French Days in spring, then summer sales and the back-to-school season.

Frequently asked questions

Is it mandatory to wear a bike helmet in the city?

In France, it is mandatory for children under twelve years old, whether they are pedalling or being transported. For adults, it is strongly recommended, especially in dense urban traffic.

How does a foldable helmet work?

Foldable helmets, like the Fend or the New Lane, fold in on themselves to fit into a bag. Ideal for shared bikes or at the office, without giving up approved protection.

Which urban helmet is best for night visibility?

Opt for a bright colour and integrated rear lighting, like on the Abus Urban-I. Add reflective elements to your bag or jacket to be spotted from a distance by drivers.

What helmet is suitable for a toddler in a bike seat?

Choose a lightweight model in a small size that covers the neck well and is easily adjustable, like those from Crazy Safety, Limar, or Bobike. Disney or Marvel designs help children accept the helmet.

What’s the difference between an urban helmet and a road helmet?

An urban helmet, with a sleek look similar to a skate helmet, focuses on comfort, visibility, and a visor for rain protection. A road helmet, lighter and very ventilated, is designed for effort and speed.
