Cities everywhere have bike share programs, but the people who use them often do not use helmets. The EcoHelmet, designed by Isis Shiffer, is a recyclable, inexpensive solution designed to fill that need. It is made with “waterproofed [biodegradable coating lasts three hours] recycled paper in a radial honeycomb pattern” and one size generally fits all. It has been crash tested at Imperial College, London and passed European standards (according to http://ift.tt/pZUYKo). When folded, it may be dispensed to users via a vending machine for as little as $5. The EcoHelmet is still in development, but you may see these soon at a bike share rack near you!
