I support that. I generally wear a helmet too, but I think it is good to recognize that per km cycled the incidence of severe head injury on isolated bike infrastructure is pretty low. But of course wearing a helmet is going to make that even lower, which is good. I just think more people on bikes is even better for humanity, helmets or not.
Definitely, I’m not debating more people on bikes is bad, I agree it’s good. Just surprised at how few are wearing helmets. 😅 Even adults.
Our city is quite hilly though so we get up to higher speeds sometimes, perhaps. And e-bikes are a common thing now as well, which increases the braking distance ever so slightly. I see quite a large share of helmet wearing bikers here, in comparison. At least during winter.
