I stumbled upon this NYC Helmet over at Bike Snob… Apparently the City of New York contracted the design firm FuseProject to create a unique, functional helmet for NYC bicycle commuters. It’s got a polystyrene helmet with a removable cloth cover. The helmet’s vents are large enough to allow most locks to pass through, making it convenient to lock your helmet to the bike. Theoretically, users can customize their helmet cover, though I kind of doubt stickers will adhere to the cloth for too long.

Fast track to Camp Spaceball..
Fast and danger.
I guess the solution to the awkwardness of the average bike helmet design is to increase its profile by a factor of three.
Even the model looks humiliated.
Fall will be all about NYC and the Martial Law look.
Crowd Control,Urban Warfare,and the bike line.It’s all there.
Increase the Fear with the optional Face Gaurd featuring ~Swine Flu filter~.
That’s it. If I see one of these on the street, I’m moving!
The helmet itself isn’t bad. They just need to ditch the covers.
