Lmao, good bit. I swear I’ve seen this exact post but about seat belts.
Seriously tho, everybody should wear a helmet. I also commute every day. Never been hit by a car (on my commute), but did have a freaky mechanical failure that sent me over the handle bars. Hit the ground head first and left a huge dent in my helmet. Had a mild concussion still, but if I hadn’t been wearing the helmet, idk if I would be able to string together full sentences today.





Idk if anybody is going to see this, but I want to point out 2 things.
First, I wasn’t advocating to legally mandate helmets for cyclists. I am an experienced cyclist, I have personally been rendered more safe and less injured by my helmet use, and I am personally urging all hexbears to wear a helmet because your brains are (mostly) good and I would hate for any of you to get Fetterman’d by a car or freak accident.
Second, there are a ton of safety features that are mandated by law for cars. Do I think drivers should wear helmets? Idk, do car safety studies say that would actually make people more safe? If so, sure. If not, seems pointless (altho, I am generally not opposed to humiliating drivers). In any case, I’m not saying it should be required by law (exactly the same as for helmets).
I wish this had been a bit. Wearing a helmet isn’t some crazy burden. It affects nobody but yourself. Obviously, make your own choices. But you can’t seriously think “if cars don’t have to, why do I?” is a meaningful argument here…
