The cycle helmet James Bond would wear

James Bond’s preferred mode of transport remains an Aston Martin, but given that bicycles are now the quickest way to get across a large city, we were inspired to build our own gadget-packed BOND bike equipped with a working flamethrower, ejector seat and caterpillar track. You now have the chance to win the cycle helmet that was used when the bike was tested on snow.

The flame-thrower fitted in the handlebars prevents overtaking motorists getting too close. The ejector seat disposes of thieves who beat the padlock and chain. And the bike – which would make Bond’s gadget inventor, Q, proud - also boasts a caterpillar track for smooth riding over potholed roads.

Cycle insurance – what if I don’t have an ejector seat?

If your cycle is not fitted with an ejector seat with which to dispatch bike thieves, worry not. Cycle insurance from the ETA includes new-for-old replacement if your bike is stolen, cover for accidental damage (race events included), third party insurance (in the case of an accident you may need to seek compensation or even deal with a claim by someone else), personal accident cover and if you breakdown, a recovery service for your bike and you.
