Biking with a helmet can be less convenient.
It’s usually not easy to lock up the helmet along with the bike so you’re left holding the helmet wherever you’re going. Bikeshares usually don’t have helmets and you have to bring your own.
These problems have fixes, but helmet laws generally don’t address them and can just make it easier to drive instead.
- bmitc 4y agoI feel like brain injury or death is also pretty inconvenient. Many motorcyclists employ helmet locks. I used to use one quite regularly. Why not do the same on a bicycle? In both cases, a thief could easily steal the helmet but only by cutting the straps, but that renders the helmets useless.
- foepys 4y agoIn Germany I have very, very rarely seen a helmet lock. Most of the times motorcyclists put their helmet over their right side mirror and don't walk away too far.
