I talked to an old biker who used to be a part of motorcycle clubs. He said the helmets only keep your head safe and not the rest of you and he rather just die than be paralyzed.

I wear a full face bicycle helmet on the street because I have seen people crash and absolutely fuck their jaws up
When I ride in the city (ie on the island of manhattan) I wear a mesh short with armor in it also, I just put it under whatever I’m wearing

ive been riding since i was 10 or so, nearly my entire familiy would go on bike rides at least a few times a year, and i could probably count with my fingers the amount of times i wore one
What's the point of wearing a helmet if i dont plan on crashing? i use mountain bikes and barely ever surpass 20kph anyway, im not a road racer that wants to spend 3 hours a day bothering tired car drivers? when both me and the car drivers will enjoy ourselves more if we go to routes where we dont have to cope with each other

but it's just not true that these big artifical hormonal changes and cocommitant issues that come with blocking parts of the male hormone cycle are less destructive than not doing anything

You are supposed to wear it before the accident. It doesn't do anything to wear it after.

I have been cycling since I was maybe five or six years old and the only time I wore a helmet was visiting Melbourne, Australia where apprently they have some stupid law.

Fallen off lot. Never hit my head. I am convinced if I wore one it would be more dangerous as I would not be able to picture the size, speed and road position from the sound alone, something I can do quite well by paying attention.

Head-cagies will never be able to do this and probably have lots of crashes as a result.

It doesn't really but you were pretty dazed and confused at the time and were not in a position to say no. You will find he only does this check on girls (or boys depending on his prefrences).

So good luck with the helmet.

I don't but have been hassled by the MPs about not wearing a helmet so figured I should start

I stole one of those bikeshare programs' helmets off the side of the road but keep forgetting to actually carry it. i just know im gonna get some bullshit 2000$ ticket soon for not having a helmet and two sets of brakes while the cagies do illegal undertakes and drive stanced out truckes with intentionally bad caster/alignment to crab all over the road for free

Call me a cringe bitch but I kinda wanna get a new helmet for "casual wear". I feel so tryhard geekie wearing my aero helmet on a brompton. Any good picks? All the ones that look "somewhat" less geeky are the ebike helmets but that also looks too tryhard too.

Because a modern car has 7 - 30 airbags minimum and walking is slow speed and you are always standing perfectly in your center of balance unlike riding a bicycle skateboard etc.

Helmets might actually be the optimal IQ test, Its so clear to me that anyone who doesn't use a helmet every ride is under 115 at best. These people probably couldn't conceive that they would have been hungry yesterday if they hadn't eaten their breakfast. Their literal response is always "But I haven't fallen off my bike" or muh external factors that are entirely out of my control are more dangerous so I refuse to do the one thing I can control.

nta but in NYC if I run a red light on a bike it's a criminal summons, if I run over a person with a car it's "no criminality suspected", inb4 you demand a peer reviewed study with a bunch of conditions, no, you can look this up if you want, otherwise let's just go straight to the name calling
