About the Merchant
All style, no sweat. This brilliant helmet cover is modeled after a classic summer straw hat, perfectly hiding the helmet underneath.

3” PROTECTIVE BRIM
A dermatologist approved 3” halo brim evokes imagery of Sophia Loren along the Amalfi Coast while protecting the skin from UV rays.
A memory plastic reinforcement wire is sewn into the brim with a tried and true millinery technique utilizing a grosgrain binding. This attention to detail means the brim will maintain integrity even if the hat is scuffed or a thread breaks. A comfort-fit elastic cuff keeps the cover fastened to the helmet at speeds up to 30mph. The fibers of the elastic band are performance moisture-wicking with the terry side oriented to wick sweat away from the face. This keeps one looking elegant in all weather.
BIKE PRETTY | SAN FRANCISCO, CA, USA | Est. 2014
In 2012, after much encouragement from Jonathan, her boyfriend-at-the-time and current husband, Melissa Davies began taking selfies of my bike-riding outfits and posting them to my website. Thus Bike Pretty the blog was born. One day, while ranting about the lack of bike helmets people actually wanted to wear, Jonathan asked the question that changed Bike Pretty forever:“what if we open our own helmet shop on-line?” In 2014, we started with a small order of hat-style helmets from Europe. After a couple of slow weeks/months, they got a lucky break in the local paper and the business has been steadily growing ever since. Anyone can Bike Pretty! We never know what we’ll encounter on a ride, but we know we’ll look ever so charming in the photos. 😉
