There seems to be a cycling revival. Part eco-conscience, part healthy lifestyle, people are (again?) riding their bikes to get from A to B, to do a little bit of groceries, to cart their kids around. Even NYC now has 200 miles of bike routes!
A decade ago, the only people on bikes were the city messengers or people training for Iron Man. Now, as in a century ago, people are back to being in their suits biking to work.

with the reminder to PLEASE wear a helmet. Fortunately for fashionistas who wouldn't be caught dead in a regular bike helmet, YAKKAY cleverly makes chic helmet covers!

I also love the elegant look of the classic equestrian helmet.

Whichever you choose, it is nice to remember those first Biker Chicks from days gone by when all you needed was a flowered sun hat.
