What the law says
In France, wearing a helmet is mandatory for children under twelve years old when cycling, whether they are riding or passengers, since 22 March 2017; the adult accompanying them is responsible. For adults, it is strongly recommended, especially in urban areas where traffic is heavy, and when riding an electric bike, which is faster.

All the gear can be found on the urban page.
Style, comfort and visibility
The urban helmet focuses on a discreet look that matches everyday outfits: a smooth skate-style shell for the Kask Urban or the Lazer Armor, vintage style for the CGM Ebi, and simple design for the Mavic Speedcity. The Abus Urban-I features a rear light. The Revoe, with an adjustable visor and removable ear protection, keeps you warm in winter. The foldable helmets by Fend and New Lane fit into a bag.
For the youngest
Younger children are more likely to choose a helmet in their style: Bluey, Disney Stitch, Marvel Spidey and Spiderman, or the animals from Crazy Safety. The Lazer Nutz and the Lazer Maze child helmet feature KinetiCore technology. For babies carried in seats, the Bobike Candy and Limar Kid Pro adjust finely. You can adjust the dial and straps to ensure the helmet covers the forehead properly.

Frequently asked questions
Is wearing a helmet mandatory when cycling in the city?
In France, it is mandatory for children under twelve, whether riders or passengers, since 22 March 2017. For adults, it is strongly recommended, especially in the city and on electric bikes.
What is the benefit of a foldable helmet?
A foldable helmet, like those from Fend or New Lane, folds up to fit into a bag. It is suitable for cyclists who alternate between cycling, public transport and the office, or who use bike-sharing services.
What advantage does an urban helmet with a visor offer?
The visor protects the eyes from rain, wind and low sun without wearing glasses. The Revoe helmets with visors and ear protection are designed for daily commutes in cold weather.
Is an urban helmet suitable for electric bikes?
Yes, for a bike with assistance limited to twenty-five kilometres per hour. A model that covers the back of the head well, with integrated lighting if possible, enhances safety at these higher speeds compared to a regular bike.
How can you make your helmet more visible at night?
Opt for a light or fluorescent color and reflective elements, and add a rear light mounted on the helmet if the model doesn’t have one. Being seen at head height completes the bike's lighting.
