PSA: Wear a Helmet

[YitzyS]

It's not foam, it's Jerusalem stone.
And I've waited all this time, see you in this thread of mine

all in the quest for a kosher sandwich

Riding in the bike lane with head and tail lights, a guy who was double parked in the bike lane opened his door just as I was riding by. I tried to swerve, but still clipped the door and was knocked of my bike. I landed on my behind, and the back of my head slammed into the street.

I have no doubt that he heard the crack, but he didn't even stop to see if I was ok and drove off as I was getting on my feet.

Better to take up the whole street then go near doors.

Did you call the cops?

It's a quote from 2016, btw

, there is a theory that wearing a helmet could give a false sense of security and cause riskier behavior, though I don't believe that's been proven.

I have that same theory about lowering the city speed limits to 25 mph. I personally drive much alert and therefore safer with faster limits
