Is this the Giro/aero equivalent of Instagramers/Tiktokers trying to stay relevant with outrageous ideas?

Just absolutely ridiculous. This is why people laugh at cyclists.
|
Ha, so that's what's going on. I've been seeing various social media pop ups of ridiculous cycling headwear. This must be what's behind it.
Banana helmet has some good forum vibes going :banana::banana::banana: |
They’re just meeting market demands! :)

As silly as it looks, that photo is one of the worst. On the bike, it's only half as silly.

Head on it looks Vader like.

At some point, the helmet will engulf the entire bicycle, and merge into a velomobile.

The UCI likes to ban stuff so where are they on this monstrosity? :eek:
I mean it could be a safety hazard...just think of all the people dying laughing after glimpsing one? Tim |

Peripheral vision looks excellent. I'm sure this will be a big hit with peolple who ride in traffic. |
My assumption was they are trying to negate changes in drag as the riders raise and lower their heads and/or allow for less time with their necks folded back at severe angles.
All that said, I would have hoped they could have found a better solution to save a couple of seconds. BK |
Where do I get one? Need it for my next brevet
|
Any we wonder why
folks think biking is a total dork sport
|
I don't mind pushing the extra few watts to avoid having to wear that thing. Looks completely ridiculous.
