The fine is for defying the law of gravity in a recreational park without a helmet

That helmet probably saved him from serious injury, but it was stupid of him to get back on and keep riding with the same helmet. You're not supposed to use a bicycle helmet after a crash. They're made of a collapseable foam that only works once. If he crashed again, it wouldn't protect him.

Congratulations! Your video, The Invisible Bicycle Helmet (Some thought it can't be done), has reached the #1 spot in the current Top 15 New Videos listing. This is a very difficult thing to accomplish but you managed to pull it off. For your contribution you have been awarded 2 Power Points.

This achievement has earned you your "Golden One" Level 41 Badge!

I assume that was bike lanes which werent separated from the road?
Also, here in Norway.. people let you across the street if you want across.. noticed when I lived in Geneva that it was pretty much like playing Frogger, so I'm aware that things may be more dangerous in other countries..

I know two people personally who have been riding their bikes in the bike lane when a truck drove up behind them and smashed the back of their head with an extended mirror.



I live in Portland, Oregon.

regardless, if sexist people doubt u for sexist reasons, it doesn't matter what their gender is. Yes, it would be equally justified if a female told them that they could not succeed as women. duh

You think they would be complaining if just people doubted them? It was men...and they expressed concern that women were not smart enough to do something like this. That is the very DEFINITION of sexism, it doesn't matter if you don't want it to be.

Can we add this to the lies channel? You can't have it both ways, either the device is a helmet and I can see it around your neck or the device is not a helmet and therefor is mislabeled.


I bet you don't like convertibles then? Or any technology that's capable of adapting and changing to our requirements? You're going to see more of this in the future, not less.

If it was an actual hammer I would have been impressed.

i like this stuff better... can't find the video where they hit a guy in the head with a hammer ...

This coming from Swedish girls isn't by accident, Sweden is soaked in radical feminism, have a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yta55u2zP2U
There's a big difference between anonymously talking shit on the internet and talking shit in a wining short sponsored by General Electric. Now, was it so important that they'll bring up misogyny, where they so oppressed by hoards of men that they needed to put it in a short about a bicycle helm? Allow me to doubt that.
Also, that invention looks like might be able to break your collar bone or squash few vertebrae if not just snap your neck.

skip to 2:35 to see the actual product and avoid listening to them tell you how spectacular they are especially because they are women and all men think that women are incapable of even the most basic technical abilities.....
Also....trading a bike helmet for a sweaty neck brace.....maybe not so awesome. I would have to argue that a dorky and guaranteed bike helmet > a dorky, expensive, probably heavy, not 100% guaranteed function & definitely sweaty neck brace.
Practicality for anywhere that gets above 70 degrees F = 0.
Still....its undeniably neat.

I think they're entitled...all I hear about is how shit women are from men on the internet. Just because it doesn't describe you doesn't mean their own personal experiences with men doubting them aren't valid.

I always use my bicycle on the sidewalk or separate bicycle roads, my average speed is 16 km/h (10 mph), I always look for immediate and potential dangers and slow down near kids and animals as well as turn down the volume on my music when I need to dedicate more attention, I never cross a road unless I have eye contact with the approaching driver, and I have never in my 30+ year life been close to landing with any parts of my body above my knee (since all the crashes I have ever had have been low-speed while trying to break on gravel). (Also my mileage on bicycle since April when the snow disappeared is ~900km.)

Maybe this will come back to haunt me one day, but I'm so surprised that people need bicycle helmets for most of the slow speed bycycling they do when what they need is actually a brain, since everyone I know that has been involved in serious bicycle crashes have been stupid, reckless or just crazy.
Of course if you have to use the roads and live in France, then please do wear one..

Pay attention to the car thats coming instead of cutting. Tap the break a bit instead of going full speed down a hill. Slow down (and show some respect) for your fellow humans and animals.
Avoiding an accident alltogether is always better than being in one with a crappy helmet.

I use a helmet when I go snowboarding and mountain biking though, but it's not a bicycle helmet.

Yeah, but you still look like a retard after you're hit.
A living retard.
