I had a great discussion on Mastodon about the logic of making bike helmets a legal requirement or not. I learned a lot and actually changed my mind on the subject…
No. Obviously I think if you can wear them you should, but making them required reduces the willingness of people to cycle, so as a strategy for swapping from car to bike, it is less effective.

Unheard of! You are the chosen one!
So do you think they should be a legal requirement or not?

Interesting… So do you feel the same about motorcycle helmets?
