"We're sorry your husband got a concussion, but at least his passenger felt safe!"

This isn't the 70s. Just give everyone helmets. Passengers included. And yes you should clean them. If you're running a business I'm sure you can afford some little bottles of alcohol spray.

But if it's about safety, why don't actual car taxi cab companies provide helmets for their passengers? It's easier to get a serious head injury in a car than on a bicycle.

And if a taxi company banned their drivers from wearing seatbelts, that would also be absurd.

Cars have padded headrests, safety belts and airbags... I don't think helmets would help much inside cars?

IIRC they do (more than on bicycles) but it was a while since I read the studies so I'm open to being wrong.
