5 of the best bicycle helmets

Giro Reverb

£37, parker-international.co.uk
The most modern protection doesn’t always mean the best looks. Yet the Giro Reverb combines classic urban looks with a new light yet tough in-mould to resist dents, give protection to your melon, and fit comfortably. With 11 colours on offer, and a removable visor cap, the £37 tag is a small price to pay for a Giro – even if the name Reverb suggests a fall will turn your vibrating body into a tuning fork.
