Drivers who view bikers as 89% human or less are nearly two times more aggressive in their driving behaviors.
minus-squareSundance@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoFully agree. Pro helmet but anti mandate law. When I lived in there Netherlands I road helmets for sport biking and didn’t for causal riding to the park etc. Then one day I crashed in a hurry. Head to cement. Concussion, depression and headaches. After that it’s helmet almost all the time. We should live in a world where it’s safe to ride free but recognize that accidents happen and cycling is inherently dangerous
