The Blink Bike Helmet is designed to help cyclists to stay a bit safer in an urban environment. The helmet features blinkers that operate just like car’s blinkers, making a cyclist’s signals nearly unmistakable. The Blink helmet is easy to use. When the rider has to turn left or right, he touches the helmet once on the left or right blinker to indicate the left or right movement of the rider. Tapping again on the same indicator turns it off. The helmet also includes additional LEDs to increase the rider’s visibility, making it unnecessary to carry additional lights or reflectors. The Blink design was a prize winning concept in the 2010 Seoul Cycle Design Competition. Read more

The helmet features a flexible inner layer that remains soft and comfortable during normal use, but immediately becomes hard and shock-absorbent when subjected to impact. What a brilliant concept!
