Hey there, hipster. No bike helmet, huh? Well, we all have our excuses. There are the vanity-driven ones that — let's be honest — explain why the majority of our brain cages sit collecting dust in the dark corners of the garage. Squashed hair, unflattering chin straps, general discomfort, etc.

Then there are the more nuanced arguments tied to piles of conflicting data about how effective helmets actually are (including one small, if oft cited study suggesting that drivers tend to pass helmeted riders at closer distances than their nonhelmeted counterparts).

But what if there were a helmet that answered both categories of complaint? One that respected your brain and your coiffure?

cliffelam, As a cyclist, any chance you'd wear one of these?
