Duncans City Ride: NYC Commuter Helmet - Let's see a YYZ version <data:blog.pageTitle/>

Bicycle helmets can be really ugly. And personally, I think the super-vent, NASCAR colour versions that are saturating the market all sit too high on my head. While I'm using a skate-style helmet now, I'm not too sure how my ears are going to hold up once the temperature drops.

A project commissioned by the City of New York has set out to encourage the average commuter to wear a functional, and in my opinion, pretty good looking helmet.

Designed by fuseproject, cyclists can customize the look and function of their helmets by adding and removing visors and full covers depending on the weather.

This looks like something that could really take off outside of NYC. In fact, I'd like to see a more "Canadian" version should they introduce a YYZ line in Toronto as I imagine it should look below...
