It’s really not that dangerous. If you’re a safe rider, riding in relatively safe environments, cycling is about as dangerous as jogging. And yet you never see anyone jogging with a helmet.
There was a recent video about this that summarized my thoughts on helmets

- amrocha 1y agoI didn’t say jogging was faster than cycling, I said it’s about as dangerous. Which is what the data from the study cited in the video shows. So i’m not sure why you’re bringing up speed.
- 0xffff2 1y agoAre you claiming that jogging is as dangerous, in terms of level of injury as cycling? That seems implausible to me. I would be curious what you base that on. My initial assumption was that your belief is that you're as likely to suffer and accident while jogging or cycling.
