(1)

Protect yourself from swooping Magpie attacks when you're on the bike! Australian and Kiwi Cyclists can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that someone has finally solved a unique problem. PieProof is a bicycle helmet that protects the rider by providing the confidence to calmly ride past aggressive Magpies (and Plovers). There's no need to look like you're trying to communicate with aliens! PieProof is stylish, lightweight and well ventilated. Orders are now being accepted for immediate despatch. A PieProof helmet won't stop Magpies from attacking you when you're on the bike (not much will!), but this Australian designed helmet provides a high level of protection against sharp beaks and claws. Designed by cyclists, for cyclists

The concept of PieProof cycle helmets was born following what seemed like a particularly aggressive 2022 Magpie swooping season. Two bloodied ears, and a head gash on the bike paths were followed by relentless attacks over 3 days on the magnificent Great Victorian Rail Trail. We asked ourselves, 'Why hasn't someone done something about this?'

The answer to that question is PieProof, a year-round, lightweight and well ventilated solution to a problem that has plagued cyclists for way too long!

Citizen Scientist and PieProof customer Marc Obrowski has a particularly aggressive bird on his usual cycle route. Since they're such intelligent birds, Marc thought, 'Will it recognise that I'm not a threat and leave me alone?'. Turns out the answer is no...
Thanks Marc for putting your body on the line. You're a model PieProof rider, cool, calm, maybe even a bit bored! Leo.

How long does it take until a Magpie gives up on swooping a cyclist...

What a difference a year makes! Over 6,000 riders of all ages took to the streets in perfect conditions on Sunday for the 2026 Around The Bay in a Day. It was a bit different to the soggy mess that was ATB 2025!

A huge thank you to the dozens of customers who dropped by the PieProof stand to share their magpie war stories and how their PieProof helmet has given them the confidence to ride safely through attacks. Apologies also to the many customers who were not able to buy their desired colour / size helmet on the day. I promise to get my stock levels right in 2027! In the meantime, helmets are available from PieProof.com.au, 45 local bike stores Nationally, Pushy's, and Amazon. Leo.

We are thrilled to welcome of Mansfield VIC as our latest PieProof stockist. It seems fitting as the PieProof design was dreamed up on the which has its Easternmost point in Mansfield. You can drop in to see Bruce and the team for a bike service, some spares parts and a shiny new PieProof helmet before hitting the trail!

As it's Grand Final weekend, it reminded me of the score on that fateful 3 day ride. Magpies 78-213-681, Leo 0-0-0... (A strike is a goal, a swoop is behind!) They shredded me!

Bicycle Queensland have posted their first Magpie report for Southeast Queensland. We think it should air nightly on the ABC news, wedged between the finance report and the weather! 😆

We're all in big trouble now that the Magpies have unionised! is a Brisbane writer who has taken out first prize in the Furphy Literary Awards for his delightful short story, 'The Magpies Have Unionised'. It's a very quick, witty satire that says a lot more about humans than it does about our beautiful, feathered friends. You can read the story via the link below.
