Yes, An Invisible Bike Helmet. For Real! UPDATED

Currently, my elder son is bicycling from Penn Station to his job, every day, and yes, he wears a helmet, but that doesn’t mean my heart doesn’t skip a beat every time I contemplate him riding in nutty New York City traffic — especially if he’s having one of his days of creative pondering.

The kind of creative pondering that brings forth ideas like invisible bike helmets.

Yes, invisible bike helmets. I think if my son wore one, I might feel a little bit better as he cycles through Manhattan. Marginally.

I won’t ruin the surprise for you. Check it out.
