I couldn’t for the life of me understand why you would want to dissuade anyone from wearing a helmet on a bike (not that I own a helmet, or indeed a bike for that matter) so my curiosity led me to click into that article. Reason 5 summed it up for me:

I would never dissuade anyone from wearing a helmet, but the country in Europe with by far the highest bicycle usage also has the least amount of helmet wearers.

The infrastructure is there in NL and the country is flat as a board. It’s easy for Dirk van Bike to tip off into Den Bosch for a few Heinekens without arming himself to the teeth.

Like a climber not wearing a safety harness.

You seem to think a helmet stops motion.

They were good enough for Vikings
