I have a set that have a ring in the middle, then 8 hooks coming off that. It’s like this: http://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/bungee-cords/4360485/
I think I nicked it from my Dad. No idea where he got it. Maybe Halfords?

Oxford used to make a bungee ‘net’. Have carried helmet once or twice with it. But put the helmet in its bag first to avoid scratching
thank you both. The bungee net looks like a slightly more comfortable solution for the bike.

I've emailed them as I reckon there's a market for Proviz motorcycle over jackets. The ones worn by cyclists are excellent - if they could design one for biker use (as I've never quite got why winter jackets are predominantly black, just the season when you need to be seen) the market would be good.

Don't want to sound too negative, but I would never drive with a helm in my backpack. If a crash were to happen I wouldn't want to land on a helmet with my back, I could well not get up anymore.

Me neither. I prefer helmet on my head while riding, but once bike is parked it's easier to carry it in backpack :)
