Pedal Me bans staff riders from wearing helmets for safety reasons

Cycling on roadways is not a relatively safe activity.

I don't know a single cyclist commuter that has not been involved in a car crash - and I'm in my early 30s.

I admittedly only commuted by bike for 3 years, 2018-2020, but I was never involved in a crash. I ride in some ways contrary to common advice, but that may contribute.

Hi, 'vkou. Nice to meet you. I once got doored, but I didn't crash as a result. Also the car that doored me was parked at the time.
