would you wear a helmet in the shower? I believe you have more chance of a head injury in the bathroom.

[@dutchman7623]

There is a different principle behind it. All protection anyone uses is there to protect you against your own actions. A welder protects his own eyes with dark glasses against the light he/she produces while welding. Nobody else in the workplace has got to wear them, and for light and sparks a danger zone is market out for those others. A motor biker wears a helmet to protect his head when he/she makes a mistake and falls or collides, pedestrians do not wear helmets to defend themselves against motor bikers. A safety belt is used by a driver to protect him/her against their own mistakes while driving, Pedestrians, bicycles of motor bikers do not use them to protect themselves against cars. A bicycle helmet is exactly the same! No cyclist gets seriously injured by his/her own actions. Only when you ride at high speed, that's why wheelracers wear them, during their exercise. You are not supposed to defend yourself against all danger caused by others, that is impossible! How can a pedestrian defend against trains? It is the train company that has to secure the crossings, make sure everyone is safe, prevent to such an extend that they can say: We have done everything to prevent accidents. A bicycle helmet protects you against slowly driving cars, not fast cars, not trucks, not buses, not trains, not yourself. And that's why we are not willing to use them.

That takes me about 55 minutes, thus averaging close to 18-19 km/h. And that's already considerably faster than most cyclists I encounter on my commutes, most are slower and only a fraction is significantly faster.

[@Underscore_Qwin]

it's also very likely a cultural thing because riding a bike was already a huge thing at the start of the 1900s. combining that with smaller distances to be traveled for working and living compared to the US, it just made a lot more sense to focus on bikes instead of horses or cars. They require much less space and upkeep so anyone can have one. Bike lanes exist next to roads as another way of safekeeping cyclists (as well as making biking commutes more convenient.

He is pretty spot on, though I feel he fails to mention one important thing. And that is the legal liability in case of an accident in dutch law.

[@anglerfish61]

The idea that every car driver is also a cyclist is 100% true. Also, when we get our drivers license the bike part is heavily covered AND kids learn how to ride a bike safely at school. Other than that, all car drivers and all cyclists make eye contact. Even pedestrians do this. Be aware of your surroundings and anticipate other peoples mistakes, not your own.

[@johansilwouden3403]

Another important factor is, that most car drivers are also cyclists in the Netherlands, so we know what it is to cycle and how vulnerable cyclists (and pedestrians) are. More than 30 years ago, I myself was hit by a car while cycling. Although I had only a lot of bruises on my arms and legs, I drive very carefully on streets where you have to share the space with cyclists and pedestrians. I even yield to them when it is not strictly necessary, like to a mother with a child on the back of the bike. But when I am riding my bike, I sometimes yield to a car or truck to make live easier for them! I say, live and let live!

Fun thing is when you re on a bike you complaint about cardrivers but once you drive a car you swear at cyclists 😂 pedestrians are on top of the foodchain 😁

[@forkless]

One of the other factors that makes drivers of motorized vehicles is that bicyclists and pedestrians are a "protected class" when it comes to road incidents and even in the instance where they are 100% at fault it can still mean the driver of a motorized vehicle is potentially 50% liable (it's the called the 50% rule) for material damages and injury costs. For kids under the age of 14 involved in an accident this 50% defaults to 100% for the other party, making drivers of motorized vehicles extra cautious. The only exception to that rule is when the driver of the motorized vehicle can show there was force majeure in play but those instances are extremely rare.

[@snoopyloopy]

eh, the impact of this (often misunderstood) law is overstated. the real reason is that by and large, the dutch generally design the built environment so that bikes and cars are not forced to coexist in situations where they're incompatible with each other. people will tolerate driving behind someone on a bike for a block or two in a neighborhood street but not so much if they are forced to slow down from a higher speed on a main road and the reverse is also true.

The largest producers of bike helmets are car manufacturers, (here in Europe it's Skoda (VAG-Volkswagen), because they wants you to think, biking is dangerous, so you'll drop you bike and buy a car instead. Statisticly there is nothing to support that, so in the Netherlands and in Denmark you only wear a helmet if you a beginner, (child) or a bike racer. If you wear a helmet in Denmark or the Netherlands, people wil probaly start talking German to you.

[@Paul_C]

Funny answer! You do know the importer of VAG-Volkswagen in the Netherlands is Pon? As it is Pon is also a major bicycle producer, Gazelle. More than that, it is the biggest of them all. And as for accessories, guess what, AGU belongs to them too. As do ABUS... So, nope, bike helmets are not produced by VAG. The umbrella underneath most European and about 30% of American market is owned by Pon.

Americans didn't wear them either. Plenty of films of the 80s and 90s where kids didn't wear them at all. And when I was there in the mid 90s, almost nobody did wear them either. Society has gone super-overprotective and by helicopter parental monitoring since 9/11 to a point where kids aren't even allowed to play outside anymore in many US areas. Another issue seems to be the cool factor somewhat as well. The Dutch just never went on to that bandwagon that much when it comes to riding a bike. Upstraight bikes are slow and safe anyway. In Belgium, the infrastructure for bikes isn't that great either but still, no helmets. It's a typical American thing that has been exported somehow but just not everywhere. Fast sport biking is something of a different matter of course.

[@ronkrijbolder437]

Extra fact is that in the Netherlands traffic laws more or less protect Both cyclists and pedestrians. Motorized traffic partisipants know this. And the ones ignoring it and causing accidents are in to big problems In 1935 article 31was added to the duch traffic laws always protecting the weaker traffic partisipants/cyclists and pedestrians. At this moment the article number is 185. Judges in the present interpretation will maybe look at the behaviour of cyclists and pedestrians but in most of the cases judgment wil still be in favour of the weaker and slower traffic partisipants. This is an extra motivation for motorized traffic users to slow down and let in this case the cyclist go first to prevent getting crushed in the lawsystem.

[@jacinthehoogerbeets45]

I find it’s the other way around, if you see someone riding a bike wearing a helmet, most of the time it is a foreigner 🤗. In The Netherlands a cyclist is protected by law in the sense that the car driver is always in the wrong in case of an accident with a cyclist.

Small children who are learning to ride a bicycle wear a helmet. Also elderly people who are less stable often wear helmets. CAR drivers who have an accident with a bicycle are automatically guilty of causing that accident. He has to prove that the biker was recklessly driving and even then he’s partly guilty. He had drive more cautiously to avoid that accident. I would wear a helmet in the USA

[@silv3rlinE]

wile most do not wear helmet's due to great infrastructure most accidents happen in more isolated roads in the countryside or not that well developed roads that are still out there, there is indeed a law here that makes it so if you as driver of a car hit someone on a bicycle your guilty by default, one note to add tho is there are still dangerous driver's out there so you need to pay attention wile riding regardless and be a bit over protective on stopping and riding if its a more secluded area, mobile phones in car's as well as on people with bikes can cause dangerous accidents so if your ever coming to the Netherlands and pickup a bike from a shop to ride do pickup a small book to learn about the basics in advance.

Its very simple if the dutch where forced to wear helmets bicycle use would drop massively. I am not claiming helmets are bad thats a stupid argument to make but you have to see it within context. Wearing helmets was something 'pushed' by car owners who wanted no special roads for bicycles and when they where forced to mix a helmet would help. Research shows helmets will help (a little) but other 'dutch' habits help way more a important one is that we sit up more and can see and be seen more and most important interact with others with accepted signals. Also lights and reflectors do more for safety than helmets. This combined with the points made in the video and road design and laws do much more for safety. Its a compromise the dutch make and compensate in other areas.

Wearing helmets is obvious for people other than the Dutch. For me, seeing people with helmets, would look weird. Immediately I would think „expats" or „tourists" . As of age three or four Dutch children get their first bikes. We are capable drivers because of years of experience. When I was twelve years old I had to go to junior high, at the other end of the city. That was a half an hour drive. We would bike in groups. At rush hours (between eight and nine o'clock AM and between four and five PM) hundreds and hundreds of youngsters in Rotterdam are commuting to/from school. Regardless of the weather. I biked in rain and in snow storms. It is as one of the people interviewed says: bikers are vulnerable, so car drivers will (must) care for them. Whenever I see youngsters on their bikes, bikers in general, I will mind my speed, lower it. I don't want to inflict injuries to bikers. Unfortunately in other countries, car drivers are rude to bikers and also they have given priority over bikes. But car drivers often forget that whenever they step out of their cars, they are vulnerable pedestrians themselves. And yes, we have a perfect infrastructure, where room is made, biker lanes, specially for bikers. I seldom see accidents with cyclers. I once had a near accident, but that was a foreigner who didn't respect the biker lane. He turned right, without checking thoroughly, crossing my biker lane. I shook my head..... „tourists..."

The roads changed and because the car was causing many accidents, the Netherlands started to work on a safer infrastructure, where in countries like the USA, they just said that riding a bike was dangerous and it is for kids. So danger, do helmet! And whit that stupid conclusion, they started to wear a useless helmet! Most people are so stupid, that they think that a helmet is safer.

The reason why the Dutch don't wear helmets is because they think they are God's only and best creation. Also they don't give a ratt's ass about traffic rules. Cyclists learn from a young age to ignore traffic rules. Red light? Forget about it. Just cross the street. Don't mind the cars. Having lights on your bike when riding in the dark? Hell no, lights are for babies. Who cares if an oncoming cardriver can't see you? The guy at 5:00 min says that car drivers are also cyclists and that is why they now how to behave in traffic. But that is not the main reason. The actual main reason is that in case of an accident between a cyclist and a car driver the car driver is always to blame, no matter how irresponsible the cyclist behaved in traffic. Only if the car driver can 100% prove that he or she was at fault there may be chance to get acquitted but even then you may still to pay for some damages.
