This is beyond stupid. The writer states that helmets don’t protect from getting hit by cars, so they don’t work. Once you are hit by a car it’s pretty hard to stop your head from bouncing off the car or the pavement. It greatly limits the kind and severity of head injuries you can get.
If you don’t want to wear one then don’t. Just don’t write articles that pretends helmets are not useful pieces of safety gear.

I agree with the sentiment that protected bike lanes are critical for safety but yeah, I am sure as hell wearing a helmet, especially on an ebike!
