Chris Boardman: “Helmets not even in top 10 of things that keep cycling safe”

by John Stevenson, February 17, 2014

British Cycling policy advisor says it’s time to stop distracting helmet arguments and concentrate on real safety issues…

“We’ve got to tackle the helmet debate head on because it’s so annoying,” he said. “It gets a disproportionate amount of coverage. When you have three minutes and someone asks ‘Do you wear a helmet’ you know the vast majority of your time when you could be talking about stuff that will make a difference, is gone.”

There is not enough reliable transit in the state, city by city, so this bill would effectively force people to rely MORE on driving, or be unable to access destinations at all.These are the most affordable electric vehicles on the market and an increasingly popular for seniors and alternative to driving a car or delivery van.A New Jersey Senate committee on Thursday passed what even supporters call a flawed bill that would require micro-mobility users to carry a type of liability insurance that doesn’t even exist yet.Onward.Polli Schildge, Editor ...

The most wonderful, most visited, economically stable cities in the world are walkable, people-centric, NOT car-centric. 👉🏻@cityofasburyparknj Make it more desirable to walk 🚶🏽and roll 🚲🛴, and less desirable to 👎🏻🚗 drive. 👉🏻Build a model city for people. NOT cars. 👉🏻Open streets on a regular basis, for special events, and *permanently* for walking, dining, shopping.#openstreets #asburyparkcompletestreetscoalition #CarsRuinCities #StreetsAreForPeople #toomanycars #WalkableCity #bikablecity #asburypark @amymquinn @eileenchapman7 @angelaahbez ...
