Comment on Rush hour traffic in Utrecht, Netherlands
And accidents are rarely fatal.
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.
This is just wrong, head injuries are very common in the Netherlands. theguardian.com/…/the-brain-is-very-vulnerable-du…
Just wear a fucking helmet, looking like a dweeb is better than brain damage.
At least my hair will look good while I have brain damage
