I was surprised by how many people in Amsterdam would text message on bicycles. Many times without helmets on.

Cyclists in Amsterdam don't wear helmets as a rule -- YouTube is chock full of videos of Amsterdam bicycle traffic, so you can see for yourself. Therefore, it's not surprising that a texting cyclist wouldn't wear a helmet.

To be clear, texting on a bicycle is not a good idea, helmet or no helmet.
