If we wish to mandate the relatively ineffective pushbike helmets for the very small chance of head injury in normal cycling, we should mandate them for travel in motor vehicles, jogging, walking at heights and other similarly "risky" activities.
Risky cyclists (sport and high-speed) already choose to wear helmets the world over.
The rise in deaths in the Netherlands is due to elderly people riding e-bikes. E-bikes should be treated administratively as motor bikes (with similar PPE requirements) not pushbikes.
Please provide full details and explantion/examples of :
1. Relatively ineffective pushbike helmets,
2. Very small chance of head injury, and
3. Normal cycling
Thanks
