I was at Sazerac Gastro Lounge for a media dinner last night and my Andrew Dobson told me about this crazy Invisible Bike Helmet. Say wha? I hate wearing a helmet but I have one. Call me intrigued…he sent the video but I hadn’t looked at it yet. Today, Lauren O’Nizz wrote a story about it for CBC “Would you trust an invisible bike helmet?“. Call me intrigued…

Thanks for posting this! I’ve always biked without a helmet because I just absolutely can’t stand the feeling of it on my head… I would definitely pick up one of these collars though. So awesome!
