Because you fall on your butt usually. Unless you're like, super inebriated or something. Better infrastructure would help, but better infrastructure doesn't currently exist, while helmets are cheap and can be mandated (for a time). I usually either keep my helmet on, or loop the buckles through my bike lock and just leave it by my bike. Maybe someone could make an accessory to lock it to the bike on a specialized holder or something? If mandated, such a device would probably be quite desirable. "Those who would trade a bit of liberty for a bit of security deserve neither" yeah yeah okay maybe mandates in general aren't great, but like... maybe we should ask the fire department or trauma surgeons or other kinds of first responders and see how they feel about helmets... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────┘ --- #2 fediverse/1883 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────── @user-1091 ... can you explain this more?
