Bicycle helmets are just bizarre. No one wants to admit that the problem is with 5 ton liquid fuel propelled potential wrecks and their woefully inadequate (both in what nature has granted them for the task and their attitude) drivers.
Give me proper streets, not pyrotechnic strapped to my neck.
- joosters 13y agoLots of people know and say that cars are the real problem, but unless you can snap your fingers and make them all vanish, I'd suggest you try putting a helmet on instead.
- btgeekboy 13y agoHelmets have saved my life not once, but twice. Both times were off road, at slow speeds, doing things that shouldn't have been a big deal. Neither involved any cars, but one resulted in a concussion and the other a severely sprained neck and a root canal. Both helmets were shattered. Cars are _a_ problem, not _the_ problem.
- jules 13y agoYea, in the Netherlands nobody wears a helmet, but it's far safer to bike there than in the US. People find it almost as strange to wear a helmet on a bicycle as wearing a helmet for walking or driving in a car.
