    As long as you wear a helmet.

      These are bikes only, very low speed interactions. The sort where if you do bump into someone, it’s just a foot on the ground at worst.

      Not really that necessary in NL. Most people are cruising the city at 18-20kph. The fietsers on the ebikes obviously go faster, but in heavy traffic, you’re not gonna go full speed anyhow.

        Just wear a fucking helmet, looking like a dweeb is better than brain damage.
