Helmets are bad for safety because (1) car drivers act more dangerous around cyclists wearing helmets and (2) they discourage people from riding bikes whereas the primary safety factor of cycling, by far, is the number of people cycling.
Being tired is normal and I can only understand the feeling, but if there’s one hope it is through collective action, not individualism. Any individual or family will inevitably lose against the overwhelming power of corporations or the state.
Step 1: make some kind of surveillance & control system that is voluntary
Step 2: make life for those who dont want it less convenient (you are here)
Step 3: make non-participation in the system be in itself suspicious and a cause for further investigation
I should have been clearer sorry. Wearing a helmet is obviously better in a crash; but, both personally and societally, not wearing one decreases the chances of getting in a crash in the first place.
