No we don’t need helmets. Cars must be kicked out of the bicycle’s areas instead. Fuck that carbrained propaganda.

Electric bicycles are popular and encouraged. Fatbikes however, have often caused much more accidents on account of their popularity among the youth for being;

1. cheap (not the issue, but it explains their abundance)
2. easy to jailbreak their speed limit
3. hard to brake and steer

They’re also imho ugly, but that aside. Were they made safer, I would probably mandate they can only drive on new lanes for speed pedelecs & fatbikes, and require helmets. It’ll help motorbikes and scooters become less common.

That would be the situation of De Ruijter in the Netherlands. It’s a “Koninklijke” (royal-approved) company, but the company’s ultimately owned by Americans. Which imho doesn’t make it very koninklijk!

Nokia has some!
