    I think most people would hesitate to stick a traffic cone on their head, but it's pretty hilarious. I really like the other two. I do wonder if the brain helmet would stand out enough, same with the pattern on the porcelain one. If they aren't identifiable from far away people may ignore it or just see another white helmet. So I guess the cone may have a leg up from that perspective, but I wonder if it might endanger you in a different way when people are too busy looking at it to pay attention to the road.

    There is an interesting project to create a more humanizing helmet using objects associated with fragility. What are you guys' thoughts on this? It's definitely goofy looking but do you think it's actually useful. I can't imagine doing a century with a cone on my head. It also might make harassment worse

    I detest so-called "designers" who try to pass this artsy nonsense off as something deep, meaningful, or useful.
