more people die falling down stairs & hitting their head, than riding a bicycle & hitting their head. A helmet should only be necessary if you’re going very fast (road bike, fast e-bike) or off-road (mountainbike). If felt needed by the majority of cyclists in regular urban situation: how the urban environment was built, sucks.
If you can spare a few hours every week getting involved in a great use of your time. Not just for safer infrastructure. Hold your town accountable in other things.
Most people only care after things happen. People should show up when things are being decided on.
Good cycling infrastructure works better than any helmet, if you’re cycling with a helmet, don’t forget getting involved in trying to make your area more cycle safe, too.
Yeah fuck off. I’m keeping my helmet and I’ll keep on judging dimwits riding without. Fucking stupid riding without.
Yeah, it’s simple as that. 100% of dutch cyclists are fucking stupid /s

The whole of the Netherlands thinks you’re a knob
That’s going to be awkward if he never needs to find some whores and acid, but otherwise I think he’ll be okay.
sure, keep on wearing your helmet, but don’t let it obscure you from fighting the real problem: badly designed streets making cycling unsafe.
Why can they not wear a helmet without getting involved in politics? What kind of weird take is that?

Getting involved in local bike politics is more effective for keeping you safe while biking. Nobody said anything about what people can and cannot do.
Wait, what? You expect every person who wears a helmet to get involved in city planning?
No, I expect them to at least go yo the ballot and vote for people who are pro cycling, for example.
