Isn’t the Netherlands very flat? I would probably feel safe without a helmet if it weren’t for the hills. My usual ten minute ride has an elevation difference of 35 m.
- GekkePrutser 4y agoYes very flat. 35m isn't an awful lot though. You can pick up a lot of speed from a bridge in the Netherlands too.
- mcv 4y agoThat's kinda the point. People can bike under very different circumstances. If you're going at breakneck speed down a mountain trail, you definitely should wear a helmet. But if you're going at a leisurely pace through well-designed traffic, it's not nearly as vital. And it sounds to me like Pedal Me wants its riders to ride at a leisurely pace, rather than breakneck speeds.
