The two product designs shown here (in situ.) were a result of a quick three week design assignment looking for products to help commuters in times of climate change and high fuel prices. I focused in on cycling and looked at ways to increase safety and decrease user effort. The ‘Hear Stream Helmet’ blocks the hissing noise of wind turbulence over your ears to allow traffic sounds from behind to be clearly interrupted.
The ‘Aero-Dash’ is another potential product that minimises aerodynamic drag and incorporates lighting and storage capabilities. Both scenes were quickly rendered up in Photoshop. Some sketch pages are included.

Nice work Daniel. The idea meets the need for more efficient headgear and safety combined. There are so many ways that effective lighting can be applied for this increasing form of transport.
There is a market for these accessories as we need to use alternative transport that is good for us in terms of health and environment.
Now you have to direct some design towards the ‘baby boomers’. This is where the demand will be when ‘we’ try to get on our bikes, skates etc. and will need all the help ‘we’ can get.
