A comment on Mandatory Helmet Laws Make Cyclists Less Safe. Parent comment
I whip my head back and forth over my right shoulder constantly to check the state of traffic behind me.
Before I maneuvre, I check, check and check again. Always checking. Always fully aware of what's behind me.
Having something attached to my head makes it harder and less comfortable to do these rapid checks. I think this makes me less safe overall.
