With the return of spring brings Baseball back into the hearts of fans nationwide. In Los Angeles, this means, "it's time for Dodger Baseball," as Vin Scully used to say. While the Dodgers may have started in New York, Los Angeles has been their home since 1958.

If you have been looking for a helmet that will not act as a portable sauna while riding, you may be in luck with this new development. Steve Feher, Los Angeles based inventor and entrepreneur, has worked on the breathability and flow of air dynamics ever since his first patent drawings at the age of the 11. The newly developed motorcycle helmet has two fans to provide air conditioning for the rider at the cost of an additional 4 ounces to the helmet weight. While this may seem more of a luxury than a safety improvement, the heat and discomfort of a sweaty helmet may be distracting for riders over the course of a long ride. Feher, a motorcycle enthusiast and rider himself stated, "It's more comfortable to ride with the air-conditioned helmet than it is to ride with no helmet at all." While this may be as bold a statement that can be made for a helmet, Feher stands by his new helmet design.
