Helmets vs E-Bikes?

[FFX_Hinterlands]

The helmet debate has numbers behind it. I don’t know of any data for E-bike crashes, injuries, etc.

I don’t know hard to hear over the people whining about getting shoaled.

Excellent point! Still a little early to tell on E-bikes.

Ebike, speeding, bright strobe, no helmet, headphones. It’s how I roll.

Don’t forget to call your passes…call the person you just passed ‘SLOWBIE’

I propose we discuss whether helmets should be required for all Freezing Saddles rides. That, in combination with the existing Freezing Saddles/ebikes discussion, should keep this board lively until spring.

I’ve never worried about being hit by an out of control helmet, but nobody has tried to pass a law making me ride an ebike. So…I’m not sure which I’m more angry about.

Do people ride Ebikes in the Netherlands? We have to work the Netherlands in somehow.
