Don't wear lycra, don't wear a helmet, and don't buy a carbon fiber and/or drop bar bike and no one will mistake you for a "cyclist".

I deal with this shit in golf, too. Just don't wear the uniform and everyone will think you're a filthy casual instead of a lifestylist. You can even be a tryhard and no one will really notice because you're not wearing a Trek jersey/Titleist hat and $200 sunglasses.

Cycling is the most popular mode of human-propelled transportation in the world, the kind of stereotypical hyperfaggot cyclists make up less than 1% of the millions of people who cycle daily. In the end of the day, bicycle is just a useful couple of wheels connected by a metal tube, there's no need to build any "culture" around it. If you like to cycle, just fucking cycle.

They love noobs because it gives them a pretext to be a "respected member of the community" so that when they later start some petty feud over literally anything at all, they can say "see? I'm a respectable member of the community" and they automatically win. To them you are just a prop for their virtue signaling. Once you're no longer a noob the mask will fall.

A seat belt will probably save from death in a crash with another car by keeping you in the seat instead of flying away like a projectile.
A helmet, even a motorcycle one, will do shit if a car hits you

You are right. But the primary way helmets save lives is head to pavement injury.

If a moving car is hitting your skull you are fucked regardless. But a minor tumble can cause serious damage.

Just recently where I live a 16 yo boy died hitting his head into an electricity post while riding his bike. Imagine someone dying because they cheaped out on a 20$ helmet or were "too cool" to wear one
So besides protecting you from something like that it also invaluable when you slip and might hit your head against the pavement.

do you cycle at 25 mph? Most people do not, they go at 11mph to get groceries.
If you consistently cycle at 20mph or more you are right in wearing a helmet.
At 25mph it is also better to wear a motorcycle helmet as you riding as fast as a moped!

if you're going at the speeds you suggest and suffer a blow to the head from a fall, a helmet will not mitigate the damage you receive to justify wearing it.
The point at which it would be beneficial is for those minor tumbles, and i don't wear one for the exact same reason most people don't wear one when out walking or jogging.

25 is slow for a moped, even 250 watt e bikes manage 31 mph where as weak mopeds have between 3000 and 5000 to work with

I've seen someone die from hitting their head on concrete after crashing their bicycle without a helmet on.
Once I wiped out bad and the visor on my helmet protected my face from getting badly scraped up.
Helmets don't protect from everything but they are definitely worth it for what they do protect you from. Also in my city there are a lot of low-class junkie/homeless people that ride bicycles and they never wear helmets, so here wearing a helmet is a good class-signifier as well.

a couple of months ago I crashed when I was going only about 15mph on the flat, I just fucked up and lost the front end for some reason. anyway, there were scrape marks on my helmet, which would have been on my scalp had I not been wearing one. That reason alone is enough to wear one, I avoided the inconvenience of blood pouring everywhere if literally nothing else.
I'm still using the helmet, I should probably replace it.

I've only see older people ride an e-bike where I live.
There are faster 45km/h e-bikes, called speed pedelecs, classified as L1e-B mopes but I never saw one in my country as - for now - they require a full motorcycle helmet to be used. However in the Netherlands and Belgium you can also use a special e-bike helmet on those mopeds, I think there is also a Belgian anon who posted his speed pedelec here. Hopefully in the future the Eurocrates will export the Dutch/Belgian speed pedelc helmet law to the rest of Europe

I crashed hard today because of slick conditions and slid on my leg and shoulder while my bike was sideways. My head was nowhere close to being in any danger of hitting anything.
The last time I crashed before today was a couple of years ago on a technical part of a downhill. I bumped and scraped my shoulder and knee. Both times no helmet.
Unless you are a tard and require a helmet all the time helmets are not necessary.

I looked it up later in the news and saw that she died! I found it again here as proof anon so you will know I am a truthsayer: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/cyclist-killed-after-falling-off-vancouver-sidewalk-1.1321457

You don't "land on your head", your head impacts an object.

Crashing is by definition unexpected, and you are not guaranteed that it will happen in a nice clear area to roll. Curbs and other objects can fuck you up if you get a blowout at speed.

Most cyclists die while drunk and/or falling off the bike, not from cars. Cars are a spook.

I was riding in a group of mountain bikers on a road stretch between trails and we'd planned it to get a 20% gradient road section just for a laugh
One of the guys got a little overconfident on the flat and long story short came off the front of his handle bars and smashed the tarmac head first at what must have been a minimum of 20mph
His helmet literally broke into two pieces, held together only by the inner netting, he had a big bump on his head and was really dazed (and oddly complained about being cold idk if this is a head injury thing)
I have absolutely no doubt he would have been pavement pizza if he hadn't been wearing a helmet
I've never gotten on a bike without one since witnessing that

In this case he apparently makes no effort to even slow down, he'd that obsessed with being "in the right".

Really roads take up so much of our world that 'you should have been entirely sensible and about sensible buisiness and responsible to be on the road or else you get what you get' just doesn't hold weight. Kids might run out onto the road. It's drivers responsibility to
a: follow the rules (that guy wasn't)
b: leave a margin for error
because they're the ones who are truly dangerous.

Drivers trying to apply the same pedantic rule following logic to everyone else on the road is pathetic. It's like how tightly controlled a fucking spaceship or aeroplane need be. That level of control does not need to apply to things which are not nearly as dangerous. Penny Farthings are not dangerous.

Not often YouTube comments are actually right:

In that environment you can expect to have to put the anchors on quickly, and you can expect people to act in an imperfect fashion. It's not much good having right of way if you've just run over a child. His braking distance, probably effected by using the fixed pedals as brakes, would be many yards, Neither are fit to be on the road, both should face charges of dangerous driving.

Well we do, up to a point. Since this is in London and he's riding a penny farthing I think we can reasonably assume he's an insufferable hipster cunt.
If I were trying it out for giggles I'd choose a quieter road and go a bit slower. Part of his problem is he's absolutely bombing it.
And they are dangerous, there's a reason why the Rover Safety Bicycle (which all modern bicycles are based on) is called exactly that.

It's like a fixie, but with double the wheel size. You won't brake easily.
But even if it had rim-brakes. Effectively there's only a front wheel with the driver almost on top of it. You would launch yourself over the front wheel with only mild braking.

How the fuck could be a bicycle your favorite way of transport? I can understand that you like to do it sometimes to do exercise, because it's fun and because it's very very cheap but, are you telling me that you prefer to use a bicycle than a good car?

A car is always better retard. The only inconvenient for cars is traffic and finding where to park it but if you don't go to crowded cities it is the best way of transport ever invented. You literally sit in a comfortable seat, press a pedal and that's it, you move super fast wherever you want. Listening to music, protected from the weather, with air conditioner for the hot days... Nothing can beat a car as a way of transport. You can travel with other people, you can sleep in it, you can carry a lot of things with you, you can fuck in it...

People here thinking that a bicycle is superior to a car are delusional.

Come on, tell me how is a bicycle superior to a car apart from it being cheaper and that you can park it almost everywhere. And I say almost everywhere because in some cities you just can't lock your bicycle everywhere and police can fine you if you lock it in some place that they don't like.
