Riding your bicycle around the city or on the highways is great. But what can make this experience more satisfying, is the addition of awesome bicycle accessories.
So here are 7 supremely cool (and useful) accessories to make some heads turn when you ride past.
While this might be the most gorgeous looking urban helmet for your bicycle, it can also fold into a compact size that's easy to store and carry around. And by no means does the foldability feature compromise on your safety.
The helmet is made of a patented flexible frame and an elastic strap system that adapts to the shape of your head when you wear it. It also has air vents that help you feel the wind in your hair.
