Some bike models have a helmet that sits in the basket, and is supposed to unlock with the bike. But the lock never works, and I asked a worker about it and he was like “don’t worry about it”.
I think nobody bothered to use the helmet because there’s dedicated, usually separated, bike lanes almost everywhere. And then there’s a giant sidewalk you can ride on if you want to go even slower.

I like the idea, but if it doesn’t work than it’s not great. Plus sharing helmets can be I’ll advised for health reasons. I know there was a company in Europe that was working on a portable airbag style helmet. Hopefully something like that would make bike share more viable. Even with dedicated lanes, bike accidents without helmets are more dangerous.
