Because they've finally realised it can't actually be made from paper and work?
Rain could be a major problem as well as impact resistance.  I guess it is disposable, but if it starts raining on your route, you still need it to function.

Furthermore, cyclists will get sweaty heads, exacerbated by the thermal insulating of the helmet itself. That’s the reason I don’t wear a helmet when cycling, I am sure I’ll be berated on here for it. I’m an overweight tootler, not a member of the lycra brigade.

I am also wondering just how “eco” this disposable/recyclable single use helmet is, other than a marketing moniker of course.

Surely he's not dumb enough to invest in another Perry startup?

I think this picture is also up for witty captions, for some reason I can only think of rude ones.

Perhaps not quite the vocation Meredith was looking for.

I worry that air turbulence caused by the openings in the paper folds would slow me down.
