bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
The Hovding—??a new bicycle helmet that doesn't cover your hair—??tries to mix safety with style In Sweden, 80 percent of people ride bikes, but only a third wear helmets. A new type of helmet is worn like a scarf, but activates an airbag when a cyclist is in a crash. Linda Nyberg reports from Stockholm.

Ingenious design although it can't protect against falling rocks or branches for instance when mountain biking and you can't mount action cam on it :)

99,9% cyclists in The Netherlands, nice market.
-
crock of shit
-
If you can, wear both, call me stupid, but think about it
-
It's not $540 it's 2500 sek which is approx $290, this price also includes the Swedish tax which is 25%.
-
I'll just take the head injury and die than be caught wearing that even on the rare occasion I'd have to use it.
-
How finicky is it? What if I slam the brakes on but it was planned. Or am downhill biking. Will it accidentally go off? How does it know when to go off?
-
People keep saying "I learned to ride when I was a kid". That has nothing to do with your head impacting with concrete. I am not changing the Dutch peoples point of view regarding helmet but I do think they serve am important purpose.

You can buy a full carbon helm for half that price
-
the helmet cost more than my bike
-
the best part of this news is that it could I think improve its size, getting smaller and smaller of its form factor. and I hope it is going to be cheaper, too.
-
No thanks, what if it fails to deploy?
-
forget fashion, this might actually give your head some decent protection unlike a shitty block of polystyrene.
-
I need something like this but for my crotch cuz every time I go up to a girl I get kicked in the nuts.
I'm starting to sound like Mariah Carey. -
1:26 "And road safety experts say that any initiative to protect riders is welcome......" Pass a fucking law to make cycling with a helmet & hi-vis mandatory as well as making all cyclists/commuters take a road safety course then ----- job fucking done. whats the next topic?
-
How if i throw it? Will it inflate?
-
a whole body airbag would be better ans safer.
-
I dont ride a bike but im sold and want one for everyday usee
-
see it cant be reused after it has deployed fuck that i stick with a helmet much cheaper and much more safer then that i dont want an airbag on my head
-
with that price , just hav the feeling that the bike become the accessory of the helmet.
