A recyclable, folding cycling helmet made of paper has won this year’s international James Dyson Award. The EcoHelmet is designed for people who use bike-sharing schemes and might not always have a helmet with them. Designer Isis Shiffer is delighted with the win but admits that a paper helmet may be a “tough sell”. She describes herself as an “ardent but slow” cyclist and came up with the idea when she was using bike-sharing schemes around the world.
