Or people with more dangerous routes are more likely to wear helmets.
There's also some data to suggest that drivers are less careful around cyclists with helmets, e.g. passing them with less distance.
Somewhat related, specifically in the context of requiring helmets there's also arguments that people dislike them enough that the reduction in cycling happening would have worse overall effects than the injury reduction.
- mike_h 5y agoMore dangerous routes on a more regular basis (committed to commuting on roads with cars), and mountain biking: https://www.cyclehelmets.org/1261.html https://www.cyclehelmets.org/1261.html
- AlbertCory 5y agoThat's an interesting question: similar to seatbelts causing more dangerous driving. Maybe. However, we're talking about on campus here, not riding down Mission in the City.
- detaro 5y agoSure, the subthread here moved to more general helmet statistics.
