>>931310Yes, no.
Luckily no not yet.
The only people I see not wearing a helmet are 'casuals' who use BSO mountain bikes and cycle on the Netherlands-tier cycle paths in my nearest city. Which is fair enough because you don't need them there really even though I always wear one. On roads though everyone is on a road bike and wears a helmet, I actually see a lot of cyclists on the roads, more than on the cyclepaths in the nearest city which is a bit odd, especially at weekends for obvious reasons. I don't understand the anti helmet brigade though. They seem really fucking autistic and vocal, and are obsessed with a single study done in Australia years ago that showed cars pass closer to people with helmets. Without getting into a debate, that's a load of a bollocks, cars barely give you any room helmet or not, I don't want to risk getting clipped by a car and braining myself on a road.
Also the 'people with helmets cycle dangerously because they felel safe' is again bollocks, I forget I'm even wearing a helmet, and if you watch all these videos online of twatty cyclists in London jumping lights and filtering like idiots a lot of them don't even bother with a helmet.
>but if you get run over what good is a helmet?People seem to think that every incident involving a cart involves you getting dragged underneath it and crushed to death. Car bonnets are built to stop that, what would happen is that you'll go flying and land, in which case I would personally like something on my head in case my skull smacks the ground. Cyclists in London get dragged under lorries and crushed though because they sit in their blind spot, then the lorry turns left. There's a new law that requires lorries in the centre of London to have special barriers either side to stop that though iirc.
Honestly I don't think many of the anti helmet people even cycle.
