I get Miss Goodbody up the road to buff my helmet. Sometimes it gets so shiny it doesn't need a light ☺

Difficult to know where to start with this one- just awful!
We often get these folks popping up in the research / questionnaire section on here with their "hi guys - what do you think of this great idea?" nonsense. We tell then it's completely crap, and then never hear another thing.
Maybe this one went ahead anyway!

Must admit I can't see what's so terrible about it. Never wear a helmet meself, so not much use to me, but loads of people do. What's the problem? Seems like quite a good idea to me.

I also don't wear a lid and I think it's a good idea too. Far better than attaching a head torch that's going to be hammered through your brain if you do hit your head. And ditto if they built in a helmet cam.

If it had those indicators that old cars used to have that popped out of the side then it would be great.
Like that, shíte eh.

You'd still need to fit lights to your bike, there are guidelines as to what height they should be at.

Those will be TRAFFICATORS then, some while since I used that word lastIf it had those indicators that old cars used to have that popped out of the side then it would be great.

Don't see a problem with this either apart form the fact that I hate being dazzled by by helmet lights. But people do it anyway so the designer obviously thinks there is an opportunity.
I still think the lights should be on the bike in the traditional manner. A mad idea, why not a bike with built in lights and hub dynamo? If Raleigh could build commuter bikes like that in the 1950s, why don't I see anything similar on sale today?

My friend had a two light-up orange arrows on the back of his bike in the late 80s, with switches on the bars to turn them off and on. I think he bought them in France. They were rubbish, but might be better with a bright flashing LED behind the lens instead of a filament torch bulb
