HEAD IN THE CLOUDS

Hövding 3 cycling airbag is the ultimate safety headwear for urban cyclists

What can a hairstyle- and safety-conscious urban cyclist do to protect their skull? They can get the Hövding 3 (£249, hovding.com), the third iteration of the ‘safest cycle helmet in the world’.

It only takes 0.1 seconds for the Hövding 3 to deploy in the event of an accident and the built-in algorithm reads your cycling movements 200 times per second to provide a safer riding experience. Also, when Hövding is deployed, a message is sent directly to your emergency contact with your location.
