Luke Pannell, an indistrial design and technology student at Brunel University in the U.K. has put his lungs where his mouth is and has designed the gem you see to the left.  Many people across the holonet are calling it a “Stormtrooper Bike Helmet” (which, I did as well in the headline, so you’d know what I was talking about.), but I think calling it such a thing is fairly short sighted.  People on your planet seem to do this ALL the time.  Apparently, if a helmet is full faced, you all scream “Stormtrooper!!” and run for the hills. 

This helmet looks nothing like the bucket I have protecting my perfect face.  In fact, I’d say that a closer Sci-Fi based description would be the love child of a Mobile Suit Gundam and The Guyver.  Regardless, it’s a nifty design and will add much, much street cred to anyone wearing this while out on your nightly ride through the park to burn off those unwanted pounds.  Of course, those flightly little bike shorts have already sucked all the cool out of you already, so you’re likely to just look like a nut.

Have at, but don’t blame ME because you look so damned silly.
