So if I'm understanding this, the reason you don't wear a helmet is vanity (fair enough), and the fact you cycle in a town with already great cycle friendly paths and routes, barely actually touch a road but also cycle on the pavement and your average speed is 8mph.....
You do realize that your situation is unbelievably niche and just about every other major city in Europe (let alone the states where cyclists are basically annoying tire lubrication) it's a case of when you'll be hit/clipped/have a crash, not if?
And yes, I know very well the site I linked to presents both sides but you'll realize it tries to offset deaths form cycling against people saved from heart disease due to cycling (lol). Also talks heavily bout injuries prevented by helmets - it just has a certain bizarre bias against legislation and I have a feeling it's run by one of these "freemen" libertards. Regardless I posted up enough links and can find hundreds more that show the simple fact of wearing one vs not is a no brainer and the evidence is abundant.I also linked to five other great sites including one that completely debunks the aforementioned slant.
So no, you won't get a 3000 word stat-jizz all over your face from me, I'll just say I told you so and send your Darwin Award when the time comes. |
