Perhaps one of the main barriers to getting cyclists to wear helmets is the inconvenience of having to lug the protective gear around after arriving at a destination.<\/p>\n

Well, the Morpher<\/a>\u00a0foldable bike helmet might just change that.<\/p>\n

Jeff Woolf, the award-winning designer behind the helmet, has designed the Morpher to fold flat for easy storage. Of course, it’s not just compact; it’s been designed to exceed safety standards as well, making it a true alternative to more conventional helmets.<\/p>\n

Right now, Woolf is trying to get the funding needed to certify and mass produce the helmet through an Indiegogo campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If produced, a price tag upwards of $110 is expected. It certainly wouldn’t be the most economical helmet on the market, but it’s a deal when compared to the $600 H\u00f6vding “invisible” helmet<\/a>.<\/p>\n
