Why buy a bicycle helmet?

A bicycle helmet significantly reduces the risk of head injury in the event of a fall or collision. 

In Belgium, wearing a helmet is mandatory when riding a speed pedelec. For speed pedelecs, the helmet must meet legal requirements. At least an EN 1078-approved bicycle helmet with extended protection for the temples and the back of the head, or a dedicated speed pedelec helmet, designed to offer extra protection at higher speeds.

Beyond legal requirements, it is just as important to protect passengers, such as children riding in a cargo bike or on a longtail bike. In busy urban traffic, they are particularly vulnerable. A good bicycle helmet significantly reduces the risk of serious head injury in the event of a fall or collision.

When choosing a bicycle helmet, there are some important points to consider. You can read more in our blog.

  • 1

    Fit & adjustment system

    A helmet should feel secure and comfortable, without pinching. A good adjustment system allows you to fine-tune the fit so the helmet stays stable while riding.

  • 2

    CE verification

    Always choose a helmet with a CE mark. This confirms it meets European safety standards and has been tested for shock absorption and protection.

  • 3

    Additional safety technology

    Helmets equipped with MIPS (Multi-directional Impact Protection System) offer extra protection in angled impacts by reducing rotational forces on the brain.

  • 4

    Ventilation

Frequently asked questions about bicycle helmets

  • A decent lock starts at around €20-€40. For electric bikes or for meeting insurance requirements, it’s better to choose an ART-certified lock, usually €60–€150.

    • Ring lock: standard size for most bikes.
    • Chain lock: 90-120 cm for everyday use, 140-170 cm for extra flexibility.
    • Folding lock: compact design, with a length similar to a chain lock.
    • Occasionally lubricate it with lock oil.
    • Keep the cylinder free of dust.
    • Avoid leaving it in the rain for long periods.
    • Check the casing/chain regularly for wear.

  • At Cyclobility, in all our shops.

  • The price of a bicycle lock typically ranges between €20 and €150, depending on the type, quality and level of security.

  • Based on ART testing, the ABUS Bordo Granit XPlus and ABUS Ivy Chain score among the best in terms of security.

  • Always choose at least ART 2 or ART 3. Preferably a chain + ring lock or a sturdy folding lock.

  • Usually a lock with ART 2 or ART 3 approval. You can often find this specified in your insurer’s terms and conditions. 

  • A good lock is thick enough, resistant to grinding, ART-approved and easy to use.

  • A combination of a ring lock and an additional chain is the most popular and one of the most secure options.

  • No lock is 100% resistant to cutting, but ABUS Granit models are highly resistant and very difficult to cut.

  • In practice, it’s best to choose a sturdy U-lock or folding lock in hardened steel with an ART 2 or ART 3 rating. Also look for extra security features, such as resistance to ice spray. Bear in mind that thicker and heavier locks usually offer better protection, but are less convenient to carry.

  • A chain lock is much more secure. Cable locks are lightweight but relatively easy to cut.

  • An ART 3 lock offers a higher level of security and is especially recommended for more expensive bikes or e-bikes that are often left in the city. ART 2 is lighter and more practical for everyday use, and strikes a good balance between security and convenience for many bikes.

  • Popular top choices include:

    • ABUS Granit XPlus (ART 3 & 4)
    • ABUS Ivy (ART 2 & 3)
