    Verrry interesting.

    Never mind the helmet though, could mtb shocks or shocks put on road bikes by making the forks from this material?

    Didn't mention how much it is though.

    It would be a very small helmet - unless your heads the size of a dandelion.

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    It looks a very interesting material and could well be used in the cycling world, however I doubt it would be very cost effective at the moment and for quite a while to come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ... youse guys think small... what about a helmet... nee, and entire bike made of helium atoms held into a cohesive shape by force fields??? That's the ticket... followed by the same tech on quantum strings...

    Better make it sooner rather than later. There are still plenty of middle aged men who have no spending ceiling on BSOs.
