As summer hits the City more and more people are choosing two wheels to get around Toronto!  With the resurrence of bikes comes the ago old challenge of balancing safety with style.  By law, anyone under the age of 18 is required to wear a bike helmet… why over 18 are allowed to ride with out still boggles my mind!

A fall from a bike at any age can be life altering, yet a simple helmet can reduce that risk greatly!  In my opinion, the biggest reason people aren’t protecting their noggins is because of the “cool factor”…. thanks to Yakkay, all that is about to change!

YAKKAY was founded in Denmark, home of the most bike-riding and design-loving people in the world.  This inspired a group of leading Danish designers to initiate the company. What they came up with was a simple yet efficent solution to making helmets cool again!  A collection of covers have been made to go over the traditional BMX style of helmets.  The covers come in a variety of styles and looks, allowing the cyclist to change up their look through out the riding season!

According to YAKKAY’s website, you can find helmets at Cycle Butik in Toronto!
