Or....get panniers big enough to hold them. or just lock them to your bike(s) - but they will get wet if it rains.

I put my helmet in one of the panniers. On my CB i put it in the top box. Otherwise you could use the helmet locks - but i once had a helmet stolen from my lock, they cut the strap.

If I ever want to leave mine, I just use a mountain bike lock round the grabrail. Means you can leave it on the seat so dogs don't pee in it.

I just take mine with me mate, it only cost me £90 (reduced from £120) but it's all nice and shiny so i'd be gutted if someone nicked it.

You can get some nice (expensive I'm sure) rucksacks that have a helmet section on it. Usually a net that zips down from the bag that holds the helmet. When not using it the net folds back into the bag.

Thirty quid for my Knox one. And the helmet section's handy if you misjudge your shopping too Smile

What use is a helmet if they cut the strap?

Just Buy the Knox one. I paid £20 for mine. Supposed to work like a back-protector too (Though it's a bit squidgy)

Innit meant to be used with the Knox roll-up back protector... that's what those bits on the straps are for, holding your protector when you're not wearing it.
