Driver of SUV: 'the crushed cyclist under my wheels should have worn a helmet! You are so vulnerable on a bike, so please protect yourself...' - @DeSpeld speld.nl/2024/04/12/bes…
Today, several Dutch organizations suggested helmets to increase road safety. We say: welcome to the fight against road danger! To assist you, here's a proven hierarchy of effective interventions to consider from now!
Rosebank stackhats were made in Australia in the years prior to helmet law and Rosebank campaigned for that law. Now a company called Rosebank Engineering makes parts for the aircraft Israel uses to bomb Palestinian hospitals, mosques, churches and apartments. Are the two…
@liveable_melb The mandatory helmet law is largely to blame

Nachdem Helmdiskussionen nicht mehr ziehen, hat sich der autoindustrielle Komplex jetzt auf die Gefahren des Kindertransports in Lastenrädern verlegt. Demnächst auch in Ihrer Zeitung.
Here's a paper from a conference "IPENZ Transportation Group Conference, Shed 6, Wellington – 23 – 26 March, 2014 " which adds to the evidence that a benefit of helmets isn’t seen at the population level, e.g. bmjopen.bmj.com/content/5/11/e… and researchgate.net/publication/73……
@FietserGlasgow @jonburkeUK I was in the Netherlands last fall, the number of bicycles astounded me. But one thing I did notice is that almost all of them, including every child I saw, were wearing a helmet.
@FreeCyclists took to the streets of Melbourne yesterday for their 11th Annual helmet optional ride. Helmet law reform is still needed to encourage safe cycling conditions.
From @australian "Leading sports neuroscientist Alan Pearce said the AFL’s move towards trialling helmets at community level is one of the “dumbest” moves made by the code after research has repeatedly proven “headgear doesn’t work” when it comes to combating concussion."
Good summary
“I don't want my freedom of dress to be restricted due to the selfishness of drivers who want to speed even after dark. What really needs to be restricted is the selfish driving of drivers.”

The way we talk about ROAD SAFETY: 🪦 blames victims instead of addressing causes 🏎️ normalizes the underlying violence ‼️ reduces a sense of urgency 📈 might make matters worse What if instead we talk about ROAD DANGER? Open Access paper: tsr.international/TSR/article/vi…

@FreeCyclists Set the police onto cyclists with a message of equivalence, when all the deaths and injuries were from car drivers. Entrenched the already dreadful Oz attitude that cyclists are the problem 2/2

The similarity is that the helmet is not going to save your life.

Why is it we have never seen media and political outrage at the decades of death and misery inflicted on #Palestine by #Israel aided by the West? Sickening hypocrisy
Today I’m pleased to say YES to the generous invitation to take another step on the journey of reconciliation.
I try to remain apolitical on this site but the No campaign has possibly been the most dishonest and ugly thing I’ve ever witnessed in Australian politics. I honestly thought we were better than this. #Referendum2023

@nikdow They’re both excellent mutts. Blessed to have rescued them.
@FreeCyclists Getting rid of compulsary helmet law and bike lanes even just on the main roads inside suburbs would hugely encourage kids to ride bikes to shops, school, and parks.
@FreeCyclists I think it should always make at least a small appearance on any list of ways to 'reverse the decline'. But perhaps it will be easier to get traction when more people cycle regularly for short, safe trips that clearly don't need helmets.... bit of a chicken and egg problem.
@FreeCyclists @visitcyprus They needed a voice to parliament.
