More than 500,000 Americans are injured every year in bike-sharing accidents, and most of the reasons are always related to their unwillingness to wear a helmet. Most claimed that the current helmets on the market are heavy, high-price, and takes so many places in their bag. Togo is a lightweight and low-cost helmet design for bike-sharing riders that can fold into a box and fit in any bag. Once needed to be used, you can simply open the box to unfold and connect velcro on each side to transform the box into a helmet. Adjust the velcro placement for fitting, put the helmet on your head, fasten the buckles, and enjoy the ride safe and sound.
