We spotted this concept and had to share. Airbags in bibs and helmets? 🦺🚴‍♂️
Honestly, we aren't completely sold on this one. While safety is always a priority, extra bulk, added weight, and overheating on a brutal endurance ride sound like a hard pass for us. 🥵❌
What’s your take? Is this innovation or just overkill? 👇
