I guess this kinda counts: wandrer.earth
It gives you points for every unique mile you walk/run/cycle etc with the idea of getting you to go to new places and explore. You then get bonus points for doing 10/25/50% etc of an area.
Works off Strava data, so you would have to actually record the walking. But I found it was great at getting me to go to new places.

Looking it up, it doesn’t sound like it. Looks to be planned for later this month.
My understanding is that they are making the economy harder and completely removing the government subsidies that small cities get that make them absurdly easy.

Has the economy 2.0 patch launched?

It’s all about risk tolerance. It was thought that improved brakes on cars would hugely improve safety. However it had a much smaller affect as people just braked later… There is a level of acceptable risk that everyone has, increasing safety measures just means they take more risks up to that level.
Helmets make people feel safer so they do more risky things and therefore hurt themselves more in other ways.
Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t wear one though!

My cycling club mandates helmets, so not a problem. Only really come up with the hire bikes in cities etc.
Nope, I was to busy being miserable about having a broken collar bone.

Personally, I have cracked open a helmet once. On a quiet country lane, with no traffic. Pot holes can catch you any time.
That is what makes me tell people to wear helmets.

I really want to try though! Not dared to try on a road bike though…
