People in Netherlands commonly ride heavy, non aerodynamic bikes that would make the long, fast, hilly commutes we do in my city a fucking nightmare and at that slow speed you could see why someone would think not wearing a helmet was a chill move. I’ve, of course seen someone get their foot stuck in a pedal strap at a full stop, fall over and crack their head on a sidewalk, so there is no situation I would consider safe without a helmet on a bike.
