"Not sure if I can say this onscreen. But lights over helmets"

Yes you can say it! Bike lights are more important than bike helmets. So are a lot of other things: 30 kph speed limits, bike paths, bike training, driver visibility out of truck cabs, etc

The new Dutch transport minister wants more cyclists to wear helmets. He also wants car drivers to go faster. This is terrible, but it also illustrates the agenda helmet promotors really have.

@TheConversationUS While your article mentions a lot of different materials, it doesn't actually look at what safety cycle helmets offer. Hint: FAR less than you think.

#DanWalker: "The helmet I was wearing saved my life today so – if you’re on a bike – get one on your head."

#SouthYorkshirePolice: "minor injury collision", therefore no comment.

So what gives?

My comment? If wearing a helmet makes you feel better, that's great. But it almost certainly won't save your life if you are hit by a motor vehicle.
