What are the different ways of locking the helmet to the bike??

Universal Topic Approved.

I NEVER lock my helmet on the bike. It gets dirty, gets scratches and ofcourse it gets less durable that way. Instead, I just carry it with me wherever I go. In places where helmets are not allowed, like cinema halls, etc., I make it a point to deposit the lid in such a place, where it WILL be safe, or I take public transport!

carry helmet with me.. its bad practice to leave helmet with bike. It gets spoilt, scratched, not to mention the bacteria, muck and dirt that enters the lining spoiling your scalp further.

I have two helmets one is Steelbird Bieefe and other is Imported one I use Steelbird when ever I go some place where I know I'ill not be allowed to enter or look odd to carry I open my bike tank lock and place my helmet straps inside the tank & lock the tank.
Imported one only for weekends,Touring,Places where you know man Style.

& for new big bike

After spoiling two helmets by locking them onto the grabrails, I stopped locking them onto my bikes. The shell gets scratched&the lining gets dusty&in turn affects your scalp&face.
I carry them around wherever I go-at office I keep it on my desk&I always have a spare helmet bag with me kept in my bike under the seat, in case I need to keep the helmet in some shelf or under the seat in a mall/theatre.

Brother I don't think that is such a good idea. You're actually quite lucky that nobody has cut your helmet straps with a blade and ran off with the helmet. My friends have had this ordeal dealt upon them. It's better to have a cycle lock (the kind with the number lock on it) and lock the helmet with the grab rails or the leg guard.

Used to lock the helmet and leave it with the bike.. Last year it was stolen, so from that day, I carry my helmet wherever I go after parking my bike..
