They cherry pick data (often decades old) from specific countries/regions to try to apply their claim that "A high rate of helmet use is a sign that the authorities have failed to design well for cycling" at a global level.
- KennyBlanken 4y agoWhich of the thirty references in that article do you feel are "cherry picking"?
