Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

OK. So instead of wearing something bulky on my head, I'll wear something bulky around my neck... Still a cool idea though. Wonder if its safer than a normal helmet?

That's a joke, right? Also, the blonde is cute.

This has been around for a while. Assuming that the blow up helmet provides the same level of protection as a regular helment (for the head that seems like a bit of an assumption, but I could see better neck support), I don't know that the big bulky neck brace is that much less cumbersome than a helmet. It sure would be hot as hell in the summer (not that a helmet isn't).
