i don't wanna get into another helmet fight but i'll just say the studies suggesting that helmets don't help are dubious or very context-specific, and are mainly espoused by certain european bike advocacies whose main interest is to get more people (in a culture where people hate wearing helmets) to ride, and to be fair it's probably okay because they have insanely more physically separated bike lanes/trails whereas i have to ride on the road for 80% of my commute

:synpa:

im dutch and i have been riding a bike since as long as i can remember, i ride my bike literally every day, and i have never worn a helmet.

that's cool, but if you smashed your head open and your brains were leaking out after a car hit you you'd probably wish you were wearing a helmet. everybody is vulnerable to head trauma... anecdotal evidence is not really a good indicator of anything...

some people claim wearing a helmet makes drivers more aggressive toward you because they think you are now invicible b/c you're wearing a helmet, but still i'd rather take that risk then have a higher risk of head trauma. drivers are inattentive as poo poo anyway and will run you down no matter what you're wearing

I know how to ride a bike so i hit cars.
