Home | Boris Bikes. Critical Mass. Critical mass may also refer to: How Hövding works - The invisible helmet for bicyclists. Sensors and algorithm How Hövding tells the difference between biking and accidents: Thousands of cycling accidents were re-enacted using stunt riders and crash-test dummies to collect the specific movement patterns of cyclists in accidents. In parallel, an equal amount of normal cycling data has been collected using test cyclists wearing Hövding in everyday cycling. Based on this collected data, we have developed an algorithm that can distinguish normal cycling from accidents. Normal cycling means all the situations and movements that usually happen in a cycling context, including running up and down steps, bending down to pick up keys, etc.

In the highly unusual category of cycling accident where no measurable movement appears within the cyclist, i.e. if an object falls from above straight down on the cyclist’s head, Hövding will not react. Will the airbag bike helmet be the way forward? | Laura Laker | Environment. Helmets divide cyclists: some won't ride without one, others wouldn't be seen dead in one. While the jury is out over their effectiveness, pretty much everyone agrees that your average helmet is neither a thing of beauty nor practicality. Aside from the risk of "helmet hair", they tend to be awkward to stow away or carry off the bike.

One Swedish company has come up with an innovative design solution to these problems, however, and kindly loaned me one before its UK launch. The Hövding Invisible Bike Helmet is worn like a scarf or snood, with a folded up inflatable helmet inside. In-built motion sensors are programmed to detect movements specific to crash scenarios, and in the event of a crash a gas inflator spirits the airbag over the wearer's head like a hood, in 0.1 seconds. It was tested with crash test dummies. The helmet also meets the EU's CE standards, providing as much protection in the event of a crash as a standard helmet.

Ways2work - Recyclable bicycle helmet could be used for city hire schemes.

A recyclable bicycle helmet that also improves safety has the potential to be used in city cycle hire schemes, according to its creator. Anirudha Surabhi, an industrial design graduate, has invented Kranium, a lightweight outdoor sports activity helmet made of cardboard as an alternative to standard polystyrene helmets, which have a poor safety record and go straight to landfill. Kranium weighs less than a standard polystyrene helmet, but offers four times greater impact protection, according to Surabhi, who has tested it against British Standards EN 1078. He said a version of his eco-friendly helmet could eventually be dispensed through vending machines for city cycle hire schemes. "You can’t dispense polystyrene helmets because they are unsustainable, which is proving a real headache, in terms of safety, for Boris Johnson and the London Cycle scheme," said Surabhi. Customers have a choice of outer helmet, made from thin recyclable plastic.
