Earrings for cycling

Helmet on at the front door, off at the office, on again after the café stop. Baqless earrings for cycling have no back behind your ear to catch on the strap. Made for a pierced ear, in sterling silver 925, from the commute to the mountain pass.

In short

With Baqless there is no back to catch on a helmet strap or drop when the helmet comes off. The anchor clicks into place behind your earlobe, and you decide how firm the hold is, before the helmet goes on. Under a helmet, flat heads feel best.

Helmet on, helmet off

A ride starts and ends with the helmet, and every time the straps and the padding brush past your ears. An ordinary back is held on by friction, and that brushing is what works it loose. Somewhere between the bike rack and your desk it is gone.

Baqless has no back. The anchor belongs to the earring, so nothing can drop into the cycle lane. You ride, and your earrings stay where you put them.

How it sits: three steps, one hand

1. You slide the post through your piercing.
2. You flip the anchor behind your earlobe.
3. You slide it to your ear until it clicks into place.

Pairs for cycling

Under a helmet, the flatter the head, the better. Amity Amour Gold, Honesty Sol Gold and Honesty Heart Gold sit especially close to the ear. If you prefer a hoop, Embrace Sublime Silver is small enough for the bike.

All earrings for sport

Good to know before you start

• Races and sportives: the organiser decides about jewellery.
• Extreme cold: your pair waits in its tin. The maker advises against extreme cold and heat.
• Once a week: take your pair out and clean it.

After a wet ride

Rain, road spray, sweat: wipe the pair, let it dry, then into the tin. In your saddle bag the tin keeps it apart from the tyre levers. Sun cream goes on before your earrings.
