You could fall walking and break your head, too. The direction we're headed, you probably will be required to wear a helmet while walking, too.
The likelihood of you falling and breaking your head while walking is extremely unlikely if you’re not a fat fuck, whereas riding a bike and flying off for reasons at your fault or not of your fault isn’t. You’re also not going walking speed on a bike, so your impact would be much greater and deadlier. I’ve met many professional cyclists and mountain bikers and they all agree that not wearing a helmet is a really fucking stupid idea.
However, if you want to risk serious injury to spite the government, you do you.
Oh, I don't ride bikes. I don't want to die.
I mean at least not as a mode of transportation around where I live. Idiots would kill you with their car. I have no problem riding them on the beach or whatever. Mountain biking is not my thing.
Yea that is a pretty serious threat, some places are implementing bike lanes, and even entire roads dedicated just for bikes. It’s actually really cool, not having to worry about some careless driver painting the sidewalk with your innards.
You ride bikes on the beach? Must have some impressive legs my man, riding on sand is hell.
