Yakkay Bike Helmets

I love the idea of commuting on a bicycle--seeing the city in a new way, getting around quicker, and not having to worry about parking. So I was thrilled when I saw these yakkey bike helmets on design mom. Choose the helmet size that fits you best and then-the fun part- chose between four stylish covers named for the city that inspired them. I'm now looking even more forward to the kiddo being old enough to ride around town on the back of a bike.

Samantha Parsons, of I am Samantha, is the creator of floorplay and floorscape floorscape, wonderful floor systems that offer a sexy alternative to foam playmats. A series of squares (Floorplay) or triangles (Floorscape) combines with slits and creases allow these mats to be folded to create headrests, cubes, tunnels, forts and more. They are made of upholstered felt on one side and durable PVC on the other, making them a viable option for inside or out.
