All the weird bikes!

“encouraging protective gear is victim blaming” is truly a mormon level of mental gymnastics
Fuck off anonymous. It is victim blaming to go on and on about helmets when the real issue is cars. Stop getting distracted you fucking shit weasel. Your praxis sucks.
i love it when people end their dumbass points with a snappy one-liner that is technically true but in the complete opposite direction they intended
“i only concussed myself on a bike once and it wasn’t even as bad as the time i walked directly into a metal pole” is not the supporting argument you seem to think it is
Man, having the seatbelt debate in 2023 except it’s over bicycle helmets? Did not expect this to be the discourse, I’m gonna be honest.
While bike helmets do protect, the majority of bicycle collisions that require a helmet to prevent damage involve a car. Bike helmets are a proportionally small part of the bicycle safety debate, the largest is reckless cars, and everyone focusing on helmets is essentially victim blaming bicyclists when the real problem is cars. It’s fine if you think everyone should wear helmets, I wear a helmet and you should do, but if you are wasting breath fighting for helmets instead of fighting for bicycle lanes and dividers and other things to keep cars from hitting us then you are completely missing the fucking point. Stop bitching at someone if they don’t wear a helmet and instead bitch at your legislatures that prioritize cars over bicycles and pedestrians. Cars are the problem, not helmets, get your priorities straight.
