“If people say it’s impossible we have to prove them wrong.”
Design students Anna and Terese took on a giant challenge as an exam project. Something no one had done before. If they could swing it, it would for sure be revolutionary. The bicycle is a tool to change the world. If we use bikes AND travel safe: Life will be better for all.

A bulky airbag collar is more comfortable than a helmet?
And how much effort is it to maintain? (Look out for the TRUC…oops, batteries were dead.)
Interesting to take a look at Amsterdam. One of the most hard-core bike cities on the planet, and not a single helmet to be found.
Here, someone tries to explain that:

But it would be good to see some data of head injuries per severe bike accident in Amsterdam vs. a city with more helmeted riders (esp for children).
“Cars are so yesterday. Bikes are the future.”
Except when it’s raining or snowing or you need to arrive fresh and sweet smelling at an appointment ten miles away at 3:00pm in the middle of summer.
