    Helmets I’m more ambiguous on. They’re usually a good idea, but you could say the same for people walking or driving.

    Yeah true but you’re not exposed to the environment going over 20mph in a car vs on a moped or motorcycle. Like if you’re riding a moped or a motorcycle, you should be wearing a helmet. You may not come out looking the same if you fall on your face but your odds of surviving without a brain injury are higher, than if you didn’t wear a helmet.

    Then again, the only place on Earth where having a vending machine that’s hooked up to city water and a tank in a locked box that has a sterilizing agent and sprays helmets in a vending machine for blue bike users, would be Japan. - Someone take this idea.

      Lastly: for anyone thinking what can happen if I hit my head off the pavement either from the back or front of the skull without a helmet (with MIPS are supposedly the safest),

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coup_and_contrecoup_injury

      That’s an example of what could happen. Lessening the impact to have it so that your skull isn’t bouncing off the ground, can reduce the possibilities of this happening.
