Re:Pedal Me bans staff riders from wearing helmets for safet... by stefan_ on Sunday May 22, 2022 @09:13AM (#31467831)
Hey now, don't bring reason here. We reject effective technology to stop speeding, phone use, distracted driving and regulations to make cars and trucks have no more than necessary power, weight and effective sightlines but since cyclists wear a styrofoam hat they are safe. Except those pedestrians are dying at an accelerated rate, I think they should get a helmet too.

The response here are hilarious, like "they also have better infrastructure" - wow, you are soo close to getting it!

It's not reasonable and it's not relevant to point that lack of helmet use out.

1. The road infra is entirely structured around making it safer for cyclists in NE

2. They don't BAN the use of helmets. That study is NOT a justification to BAN them.

3. No one is suggesting that they be mandated either.
