Any suggestions for reusing an old bicycle helmet, please?
I recently took a tumble off my bike and dented my helmet on the road – better than denting my head, but I still have the headache! As the helmet was three and a half years old I decided a replacement was definitely due.
Anyway, I’m wondering if you have any good ideas for reusing it as something else, please. So far I’m pondering a hanging basket for flowers or some such, but it’ll look more unique than attractive 
If it matters, it is a Bell Triton in black [1], although I bought it at my local bike shop, as I did the replacement in white/silver. It might not be the most technical of helmets, but I have a 62cm hat size and I’m happy with the fit/comfort of the make/model.
NB. It’s a conscious decision on my part not to post this in the cycling section (yet!).

My first thought was hanging basket or a novelty pot holder, if you can prop it up with something, to hold a pot of herbs, or sweet or hot peppers.
A fruit bowl.
A small trug
Prop it up a little and put in the garden for a frog house.
A nest box, robins may like it
You can paint it a different colour.

Queen – Greatest Hits $7.64 Queen brought a whole new meaning to the phrase over the top.

Many of the band’s singles hold up extremely well, such as “Killer Queen” and “You’re My Best Friend”. The … |
