I had no idea this existed until I saw the Seth's Bike hacks video on it. My mountain bike helmet (IXS Trigger AM w/MIPS) is not listed, but I'll be buying off this list this year. I fall of bikes a lot.

Nothing short of astounding. Some people didn't think it could be done. And now we have something that truly proves it.

What's next? Lighter materials? I'd love to play around with something like this and not have to be a world class cyclist.

The Melbourne bikes have a hook to attach a helmet: http://www.curriqui.es/imagenes_comunes/btt/Cascos_gratuitos...

As an engineer and former cyclist, this is amazing to see!!

Thank you for sharing this. I had no idea such existed. It's hilarious and I'd totally wear this if I was still cycling (let alone going outside).

Thanks for sharing this, this looks great. I'm thinking this would be even better for local groceries if this existed in Brooklyn.

On a side note, observe how none of the 5 riders have helmets!

The "Full stop send t?w?e?e?t? t?o?o?t? post" made me laugh. :)

The Heybike Cityscape looks like a nice bike.

Ahahaha thanks! Never thought of that, but I'm a big mountain biking fan myself!

Why thank you. There is a beauty of its own in that K1200R - except for the headlamp, that is offensive, no offense intended of course.

My knowledge in the space is limited to the GS range, having been privy to a few storys of romance between rider and bike while crossing continents. A beauty of its own.
