Well, that depends on what they make the fabric out of. Also, in return, you do get neck and chin coverage, though, which the beardless patch under my chin would have probably appreciated 3 years ago.

I'll bet you anytime this thing goes off, a helmet would also be damaged and need to be replaced. This might actually be resuppliable (gas cartridge + the airbag will obviously need replacing, and the electronics will need to be tested) and might even cost less than a couple hundred to get going again.

This is NOT designed for people going fast. It is going for urban commuters on cruisers or hybrids at best. It is designed to protect from unforseen circumstances (like getting T-boned or cut off by a car) and not for when your own speed is the issue. You will not be flying down the street at 30mph, while getting…

I'm not too certain, obviously (for that you'd have to actually contact them rather than posting on a forum), but based on my combined knowledge of the fiber optics used in accelerometers and a mechanical engineering background, I would guess that there are two factors in play:

As someone with a pretty damn-well ventilated $150 biking helmet, I am seriously interested in seeing some form of proof of this, because I would otherwise swear that in 100 degree sunny heat, my head really likes not having anything on it.

Yes, and the Tesla Model S has only been available in the US for a year and a half. Given another 5, there will be a cheaper electric car made by Tesla. Give another 5, and there will probably be one still much cheaper than the S and with 2 or more times the range. Early adopters fee doesn't go away as a result of…

Pretty sure this is Ben Affleck's car from the next Batman.... Looks like a return to the days of comic Batman. Sorry guys

HaHa you're cute! In the very places 'Murica hates (San Francisco, Berekely, etc.) everyone idolizes co-op stores with local, organic produce, locally made clothing from organic what-ever, cars made in the USA, and everything else no one else really gives a shit about.

On top of not being all of "us", it's in fact very few of us. The difference is you never notice the cyclists who follow the self-preservation principle because we don't count on you to pay attention and work around the actions of others.

Don't know where you're from, but I have never been in a town where the majority of bikers ignored traffic laws. I think the issue arises in cities like NY, where both drivers, bikers, and pedestrians are assholes, but biking allows better expression of this attitude.

They sure as shit didn't build them for 4000+lb monstrosities plowing through at 45 mph (which always means 50-55, amiright?)

Not just any public bus, but an electric or CNG one!

Why burn it when you can drive a hummer into it at the speed limit and prove two points at once?

BINGO! $5 says that the rates of teenage pregnancy and violence in the black population is statistically similar to the percentage of the population that lives in poverty.

If I were to decide to shut down an Israeli (or anywhere) roadway, I wouldn't spend the time and effort to illegally hack into their computers and blah-blah-blah.

Math? No-one's got time for that shit these days! (apparently)

So, the cool thing about the internet is that there is a lot of it. Even on this website, there are multiple staff writers, and even more members who can also write their own pieces.

They are also unreliable now. Parents have owned 4 (I don't want to talk about it), and and ignoring the (cry me a river) '12 and the '02 they sold early, both the other '02 and the '07 broken under or around 100K. The '02 needed a new cat, and its transmission failed, and the '07 had a broken strut and some other…

Simple, they would be reduced to making RWD corollas with an LS7 in it, and bolting on some cheap "wings n' shit"
