Motorcycle helmets are very different to bicycle helmets. For the avoidance of doubt, I'm talking about bicycle helmets.

How?

Listen, whatever, if you want to risk not wearing a helmet and end up with a catastrophic injury that could have been prevented? Batter on in. I'll stick to protecting myself where I can. You do you, pal. I've looked after enough people with these injuries.

Yup, fair enough. So you do wear a driving helmet after all? Around 50% of head injuries occur in vehicles, so you presumably do?

Haha this argument doesn't make sense. "I'm not going to protect myself because other groups of people don't"

No, the argument is why should cyclists go out of their way to wear equipment which has largely no benefit, when the same isn't said for walking or driving?

By the way, as a cyclist and a cop, I know how selfish and dangerous other road users are and there should be a focus on that dangerous behaviour but that doesn't mean helmets don't have their place.

Absolutely. The reason I got uppity here is that too many people think that cycle helmets will protect you if you're hit by a car. They almost certainly won't. Yes, "almost", but still no reason to expect people to wear one.

I get that. I am a cyclist. I have almost daily near misses with other mechanically powered vehicles. I also wear a helmet. My mate came off his bike the other day. Not because of a car but because it was slippy. His helmet reduced his injuries to his head.

It doesn't mean that I don't think driver behaviour is a problem. I actively take part in #closepass initiatives and give out tickets / report drivers where appropriate

I've been deliberately driven into before (court next week for that - dangerous driving, in fact), and I hit my head on the road as a result. My helmet was destroyed, and I briefly lost consciousness. Did the helmet help? Probably? But I've also been punched in the street (1/2)

So the helmet helped but you advocate against helmets?
