• ‘All hands on deck’: Toronto braces for a decade of traffic turmoil as Ontario Line work shuts city streets

  I'm not sure if you can get them here, but for hair, a lot of people in Denmark ride with airbag helmets. It's basically a thing you put on your neck that will go off if it detects a crash. https://hovding.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

  Haven't biked for a couple years now, and I haven't tried this out yet, but this was making waves last time I was helmet shopping: https://hovding.com/. Source: about 1 year ago

• I hate bike helmets. They look stupid and are uncomfortable. Is there some “better than nothing” alternatives?

  I’ve been using a Hövding for the past few years. Had a particular nasty crash on it a couple years ago and was really impressed by the neck and head protection it provided. I wouldn’t recommend it for mountain biking but it’s great for commuting and urban bicycling. Source: about 1 year ago

• My mother refuses to wear a helmet when cycling. What is the most comfortable helmet I can get (hopefully if its comfortable she is willing to wear it). ideally under 200 , but i can stomach 300 dollars?

  While I appreciate it would break your budget, have you considered an airbag-type helmet? E.g. https://hovding.com/ Worth a try if all else fails. Source: about 1 year ago

• Bicycle Helmets...

  Now to be honest, if all helmets didn't suck...... If the helmets that didn't suck were better about not messing up my hair, I might go for it. Surely there must be some technological advance in this field that resolves my issues? There is Hövding; this is an almost-perfect form of bicycle head-protection as far as I'm concerned. It solves some of my biggest peeves with helmets (albeit trivial). Source: about 1 year ago

• Bicyclist with kid trailer hit on Highland

  It still exist, and reportedly works pretty well: https://hovding.com/. Its just not available in the US. Possibly due to regulatory hurdles, or the difficulties of shipping something that basically explodes. Source: about 1 year ago

• What style of helmet do you use while on your ebike?

  I wear a Hövding for commuting. I was involved in a significant crash a few years ago where the Hövding deployed appropriately and I would say the head and neck protection is superior to most conventional bicycle helmets. Source: about 1 year ago

• Cycling caps with cut out for ponytail?

  The only thing I know is hovding and they are pricey. Source: about 1 year ago

  If your goal is to minimize risk of head injury I’d go with a MIPS-verified helmet or a Hövding. Source: about 1 year ago

• Helmet help

  No. People don’t watch out for bikes. They sure as shit don’t watch out for turn signals on bikes. Also: https://hovding.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Smart Helmet Idea

  It is a problem for a lot of riders, for both bicycles and motorcycles. A lot of studies have shown that people don't want to ride a bike to work because it makes them sweat. Ebikes solve this, but the helmet hair problem still remains. That said, a solution to this problem already exists: https://hovding.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Should I start cycling even though I can't wear a helmet?

  Have you looked at the Hovding airbag hemet? It's European, it's basically an airbag that loosely goes around your neck instead of being worn on your head, and it replaces a traditional helmet. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to get my stubborn partner to wear his bike helmet?

  You could also suggest an airbag. While not nearly as protective, it’s better than nothing. https://hovding.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to get my stubborn partner to wear his bike helmet?

  Get him a Hövding. If he’s a gearhead he’ll love it because it’s high tech. I’d also recommend getting replacement insurance if he’s an aggressive rider because it’s probably going to deploy at some point. Source: over 1 year ago

• Electric scooter ban increased congestion by 10% in Atlanta

  Where I live people who want a helmet but not something on their head use an inflatable that triggers on falling. I presume they can be used when scooters. A scarf style thing is hopefully not as gross to share as a helmet. https://hovding.com/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
