Default Psycholists don't need helmets

I have come to the logical conclusion that psycholists don't need
helmets, because their brains are not worth protecting if they think
that cycling is dead safe and/or that helmets don't minimise head
injuries in the event of an accident.

So the Dutch are all arrogant, untrained, ill-disciplined, dangerous
and law breaking cyclists then? So much for good International
Relations with them!

The photos show normal people going about their business. I've always found
the Dutch to be very tolerant and friendly people who could teach us a thing
or to about how to respect cyclists on the roads and not see them as some
hated outgroup as many people on here do.

As one of their pop groups once sang:

Met een beetje tolerantie
ben je altijd op vakantie.
Je hoeft nooit meer iets te vinden.
We zijn af van het gezeik.
Alle mensen zijn je vrienden,
want iedereen, die heeft gelijk.

Is that what demented cyclists sing to keep their spirits up?

"minimise" you say? Surely "reduce" is the upper limit
that can be claimed?

In some accidents helmets may prevent head injury altogether.

Only for people who can't keep their balance.

I can testify that it is very difficult to keep your balance on a
bicycle when side-swiped by a truck.
