Abstract: A bicycle helmet and bicycle helmet molding process provide an impact attenuating bicycle helmet/shell having the advantages of low cost, ease of manufacture, as well as ruggedness and durability. In preferred embodiments, a shell having inner and outer walls defining a sealable cavity is provided and an access hatch is formed in the outer wall. The cavity is fully or partially filled through the access hatch with an impact attenuating material. The helmet is treated if necessary to cause the impact attenuating material to harden or fuse or otherwise remain within the sealable cavity, and a plug is used to close the access hatch, thus providing a superior bicycle helmet/shell wherein the impact attenuating material is trapped within the shell portion of the product.
Abstract: A collapsible bicycle storage device may include a bracket assembly including a mounting portion for mounting the bracket assembly to a wall or ceiling, and an arm support assembly for supporting one or more bicycle support arms in the bracket assembly. The arm support assembly supports an arm assembly having at least one bicycle support arm rotatably mounted in the bracket assembly for rotation between a stowage position and an operational position.
