      Bicycle helmets are also valuable in bike-on-bike and single vehicle crashes.

      I’d love to know how cars suddenly got involved when rolling down some sweet single track on a mountain, doing tricks in a BMX set, or when racing fellow cyclists through a closed course.

      … did you even watch the video? you can be miles away from the nearest car and still benefit from a helmet. yes, cars are dangerous and we can better multi modal infrastructure, but your comment doesn’t apply here at all

      It makes sense to protect your head. And no helmet in this world will help you when a 40to truck is running over your body
