Two-wheel woman @fembikesnsci.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Most of the danger keeping people off of bikes is the result of bad infrastructure and land use patterns, but culture is definitely part of the problem now.

Two-wheel woman @fembikesnsci.bsky.social · 19/08/2026A few relevant points about bikes and helmets: 1. NYC is home to Citibike, a highly successful bike share system. 2. Hardly anyone who rides Citibike wears a helmet. 3. The one bike share system to launch in a city with a mandatory helmet law (Seattle, since repealed) was not nearly as successful. 120
