The Progression Of Cycling Helmets – Introducing The Airbag [VIDEO]
28 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
2oceansvibers and norms alike will be aware of the term ‘prawn’ which is the ‘affectionate’ term used to describe cyclists. The term stems from their similarity to the aliens in the movie, District 9 – where the aliens were referred to as prawns.

This fixture has been on my mind all week. It’s been inescapable. I’ve tried to bury my head in my work but I’m genuinely concerned.
