You could have worded this with kind concern but you chose to open by insulting me instead. I only moved here from the other side of the bay. I’ve lived in this area my whole life. Somehow all my friends in Oakland do just fine. If I get robbed, so be it, but I’m not going to hide in my car.
I’ve been a cyclist my whole life and I would never ride without a helmet. This isn’t the Netherlands. My bike goes 30 MPH and as experienced as I am, accidents still happen.
Your comment was particularly condescending and I don’t think it fits the tone of this discussion. You didn’t have to comment, and you didn’t have to be rude if you wanted to participate.
- djmips 4y agoHey, they were trying to help. ;-) Clearly just a culture clash.

- to-too-two 4y agoSad seeing these types of derogatory comments on HN. Take it back over to r/conservative.
- esperent 4y ago> culture clash You'll probably experience less of these if you stop calling people "naive foreigners".
- mongol 4y agoI am not parent but I agree with you. Thanks for sharing your e-bike conversion experience. It made me look into the same!

- dm319 4y agoDon't bother with a bike helmet! The only safety you need on your bike is the safety of your open carry firearm. When a careless driver pulls out of a side road and takes you out, you can both make them regret their decision and pay for your neurosurgery with a gun. /s (sadly needed)
