Paul needs to simplify his helmet-carrying experience because traditional helmets are often bulky and inconvenient, which disrupts his minimalist lifestyle and efficient routine. He bikes to campus to save time and avoid the hassle of parking or public transportation. For Paul, safety is paramount, so he always wears his helmet, but he’s frustrated with how bulky and uncomfortable most helmets are. He’s a minimalist at heart and dislikes carrying anything unnecessary. The bulky design of traditional helmets makes them a pain to manage, especially when he needs to carry them around campus between classes. There’s no provision to accommodate his long hair too. His regular helmet usage makes it sweaty and full of odour every time he puts it on, further ruining his mood and aesthetic.
