Yes, For Real

Two women have invented an invisible bicycle helmet. "The project started as an industrial design master thesis in 2005, when Anna Haupt and Terese Alstin, decided to 'improve' (reinvent if you ask me) the bicycle helmet in such a way that 'adult cyclists would voluntarily start protecting their heads on the roads without the law ordering them to do so.' Because, you know, helmets are not very attractive, and neither is one’s hair after wearing them."

Good idea. Also, my car has dual front invisible helmets.
