Yeah fuck off. I'm keeping my helmet and I'll keep on judging dimwits riding without. Fucking stupid riding without.
sure, keep on wearing your helmet, but don't let it obscure you from fighting the real problem: badly designed streets making cycling unsafe.
That's going to be awkward if he never needs to find some whores and acid, but otherwise I think he'll be okay.
more people die falling down stairs & hitting their head, than riding a bicycle & hitting their head. A helmet should only be necessary if you're going very fast (road bike, fast e-bike) or off-road (mountainbike). If felt needed by the majority of cyclists in regular urban situation: how the urban environment was built, sucks.
