The security of helmets is largely linked to the speed the cyclist bikes at. Lane segregation has little to do with it - on busy cyclist lanes in London, where people go at insane speeds, you really want to have a helmet.
- Raed667 4y agoMakes sense, and I had some close encounters with pedestrians crossing bike lanes behind a corner and without looking (disk breaks saved me a couple of times there). And if you're going around fast bikes, I agree 100%. However in my city center, bike speeds are fairly slow. You can speed but you'll hit a red-light or a crossing tramway so frequently that it doesn't matter.
