@SheDrivesMobility@norden.social For whatever reason, people only discuss #helmets in the context of #cycling. Far more grave head injuries happen to car passengers and to #pedestrians. Nobody talks about them. Which clearly shows, that the whole debate is a red herring to avoid talking about real #mobilityTransition and safe #infrastructure for all.
