How bicycle helmets are engineered to distract from murderous car drivers and crap infrastructure

[–] Zagorath@quokk.au 6 points 1 month ago

Bicycle helmets are at their most valuable in bike-on-bike and single vehicle crashes.

I'd love to know how cars suddenly got involved when rolling down some sweet single track on a mountain, doing tricks in a BMX set, or when racing fellow cyclists through a closed course.

... did you even watch the video? you can be miles away from the nearest car and still benefit from a helmet. yes, cars are dangerous and we can better multi modal infrastructure, but your comment doesn't apply here at all
