>>1941211Another retarded politician who thinks a plastic foam bowl on top of your head can negate 70 years of destructive urban planning and the ever growing element of human error.
It pretty much only matters at high speeds, which recreational or commutal cycling usually does not fall under. Every time I fell from the bike i slipped onto my legs. A 40 ton truck will crush your skull, helmet or no helmet it doesn't matter.
What would help is careful planning and a road design and signage that is unmistakably clear. But some cities just refuse to get the memo. This example is the city of Osnabrück in Germany. Cyclists going straight at the intersection beyond are required to ride in the middle of the road BETWEEN two straight lanes, it's absolute madness
