#do you wear a seatbelt in the car? then wear a fucking helmet! theyre both there to keep you safe and shockingly

Why is it a controversial take all of a sudden that you should wear a helmet when you ride a bike? Like I've seen multiple people being like "well actually we dont use cars often and we have bike-focused infrastructure, americans are so weird" OK BUT SMACKING YOUR BARE HEAD ON CONCRETE STILL ISN'T GONNA BE GREAT FOR YOUR BRAIN. NO MATTER HOW GOOD OF A CYCLIST YOU ARE, A CONCUSSION IS STILL GONNA FUCKING SUCK. WEAR A HELMET.

#i dont care if you dont rely on cars! geting hit by a car isnt the only way to get injured on a bike jfc!!! #do you wear a seatbelt in the car? then wear a fucking helmet! theyre both there to keep you safe and shockingly #being safe on moving vehicles isn't stupid or weird. not wanting to die from preventable injuries is like. normal. #i saw a guy crash on a completely empty residential street and crack his skull. man was bleeding everywhere bc he didnt have a helmet on #so yeah no. cars arent the only reason people get injured on bikes. be safe for the love of fuck why are you guys being stupid about safety #thats like saying you dont wear a seatbelt because your country has 'car focused' infrastructure #dont be stupid jfc
