There is a first for everything, and this is our first submission from Hungary. Wilika wrote to us and said the following and his holiday helmet design:

The base is made from cardboard-boxes, and an excessive amount of duct tape, all covered up with crepe paper (warning, not rain resistant!) Greetings from Hungary! ;)

    Wilika, now make a helmet cover that lights up the whole way around and looks like an over sized brain- Would be a great “night light”. More likely you would get hit because the drivers were staring and not watching what they were doing:)
    Jack how about a contest, the most creative lighted helmet cover? No brains though, I am the brain person around here ;-}

    Haha!
    At the moment I’m building some LED-s hidden in the ventillation holes of my dirt-helmet. :) (It kinda looks like a car coming towards you, cuz the front holes got that funny shape that cars have for lights)

    while I think that’s cute for Christmas and all, I wouldn’t venture out on the roads with that on my head. Here in Texas were told to run over wildlife in the road, lest we swerve and take another motorist or person out. So for the same reasons I wouldn’t go out in the woods during hunting season with horns on my head, I wouldn’t ride my bike with them either unless I want to be road kill.

    The funniest thing about this helmet, that the youngest kids an their mothers liked it the most. Teenagers, were such assholes.
    But it was fun as I and my brother have entered a restaurant, in full bikers clothes, and with this stuff on my head… damn, people looked weird on me. :D
