I can't believe this baloney keeps coming up. Bike helmets DO save lives. There are accidents where they save people's lives. Of course there are accidents where a helmet can't save you.
Obviously as well, bike lanes are really important. It's not an either or situation. We can do both.
- _ph_ 11y agoNo this is not a logical argument. Banning biking alltogether would even save more lives, so by your logic we should ban biking. This an other studies show, that there is no especial reason to wear a helmet during normal reasonable biking. The risks for your head are not significantly worse than when walking or driving a car. You are free to wear a helmet of your choice at any of those activities, but they are not required by law for any of those.
- bloat 11y agoThis is a complete non-sequitur. One statement: Bike helmet laws do not help rider safety. Another statement: If you, the individual, crash, then wearing a helmet can save your life. These are not contradictory.
