On a wet day in Fremantle earlier this week, this head gear really caught my eye as I crossed the road to a bookshop, its wearer entering just ahead of me. I couldn’t resist asking Jeremy, as he turned out to be, to allow me to take a pic as he prepared to go on his way. He has several, apparently – slip on covers that go over his cycle helmet. He was such a good sport about a zany request from a strange woman, but as he was in a hurry I didn’t have time to ask him who makes them – perhaps Perth-ites have seen them around and know where to get them. I thought it wonderful that a guy would wear something so, well, eye catching. And that’s the whole point, of course !
Can’t help but wonder if it keeps the swooping magpies at bay -much more fashionable than all the straws poking out of helmets that I keep seeing!
