Why do cycle helmets look boring? Most countries allow cyclists to decide for themselves whether or not to wear protective headgear, but there is very little choice when it comes to design. For the most part, an air vent or extended peak passes for innovation. Halloween is a perfect excuse to consider something a little more flamboyant.

Haunted helmets
After all, if you decide to wear a helmet when you commute into town or pop to the shops, why must it look like something from the Tour de France? Style-conscious cyclists frustrated by run-of-the-mill headgear this Halloween can seek inspiration from custom helmet maker smirkmasks.com.

The designs are far more expensive and menacing than the standard polystyrene and plastic design available from your local bicycle shop, but since when was bespoke design cheap or pedestrian in appearance?
