Beg Bicycles

We recently had the pleasure of meeting Andrew, who was visiting the UK from New Zealand during our recent heatwave!

It was wonderful to hear about his travels with his partner Julie, as well as their cycling adventures and lifestyle back home in New Zealand. We were also delighted to have the opportunity to introduce Andrew to our helmet collection.

A keen road cyclist, Andrew also enjoys riding his beloved Pashley, so it seemed only fitting that he tried on our Sherlock helmet. We think you’ll agree it suits him perfectly and makes for a very dapper look indeed.

Safe travels, Andrew, and thank you for visiting us!

Delighted to receive these fantastic images of Daniel, a former ‘helmet-resister’ in Vashon, Seattle whose team at bought him our Tweed cap style helmet at a gala event auction under the premise that he must wear it in perpetuity!!!

We think it suits him wonderfully!

(It’s also made us really want to visit Vashon island. It looks beautiful!)

10 Reasons Why Riding a Bicycle Makes People So Happy Scientists have studied it, riders swear by it, and the truth is: riding a bike really does boost happiness. Here are 10 reasons why.

'We Are Cyclists' Film Shows How Everyday Riders Are Rewriting Cycling Culture 'We Are Cyclists' follows the growth of All Bodies on Bikes—a grassroots movement that has evolved into a national nonprofit with chapters across the United States.

This is where running a small family business really comes into its own. Grab the dog on a Sunday, rope in the (only slightly unwilling) grown-up kids, and cycle everyone into our extraordinarily pretty local village for an impromptu photo shoot.

Proof, if it were needed, that BEG’s classic collection of cycle helmets are actually pretty damn cool — the kind people are happy to wear, not desperate to whip off the moment they dismount.

Have a look at the collection and see for yourself. This is where sad old plastic helmets are a thing of the past, and where comfort, design and serious style credentials quietly take the lead.
