Note that bicycle helmets are not very useful at improving outcomes. Especially for cycling within cities, MTB or something completely different is likely to have a different risks and helmets may be a clearly good idea there.
- catalogia 7y agoI hope that pedantry about cycling safety aside, my point is clear. Feel free to swap out "cycling without a helmet" for any other risky activity you might observe day to day if you pay attention to the world around you. Why do people break the speed limit on wet roads just to get home a minute sooner, when they could slide off the road into a ditch and never make it home at all? Obviously, because they think that won't happen.
- perl4ever 7y agoI moved from a single level apartment to a two level home with a staircase. I'm sure that increases my risk substantially.
