Finally.

Hövding is a collar for bicyclists, worn around the neck. The collar contains a folded up airbag that you’ll only see if you happen to have an accident. The airbag is shaped like a hood, surrounding and protecting the bicyclist’s head. The trigger mechanism is controlled by sensors which pick up the abnormal movements of a bicyclist in an accident.

The Isolator – invented in 1925 by Science and Invention magazine editor and science fiction pioneer Hugo Gernsback – was designed to focus the concentration by rendering the wearer deaf,  breathing highly oxygenated air and peering out through a tiny horizontal slit.

Everyone at Broadsheet is wearing one right now.

Kranium – a cardboard bike helmet by student designer Anirudha Surabhi – absorbs four times more impact energy than the standard polystyrene equivalent.

It also lasts longer. One Kranium was apparently smashed five times in a row and still passed the British Standard (EN 1078) test.

A no-brainer?
