Only really works because the infrastructure is so safe. In pretty much any other country I’d think twice before going without a helmet until proper biking infrastructure is built.
Yes, I agree, that’s exactly why I think we should focus more on building safe infrastructure, because if it isn’t safe enough to ride without a helmet it never will become used as mass method of transportation.
Also you can just lose focus, make a mistake, and drive into something.
People do so all the time in cars, why wouldn’t they on bikes?
Bike injuries can be very serious if you are unlucky and hit your head wrong. Wear helmets people!
Riding a bike is so much more interactive than driving. Just the act of pedaling is more interaction than a car.
As for injuries, you can have the same injury walking and falling off a curb, or falling down some stairs. You head is fragile, never leave home without your helmet…
