I get why he made the video (it was cute) but it’s a fact that bicycle helmets are not designed to protect cyclists in the event of a collision with a car. We need to stop putting the onus on people doing the dying rather than people doing the killing.
Streetsblog NYC@nyc.streetsblog.org · 2mo agoMayor Mamdani's focus on a helmet paints deadly crashes as the failure of vulnerable road users to protect themselves, rather than as the failure of government to stop completely avoidable carnage. buff.ly/0HIM3RQ

1st, it's totally possible to travel by train further than you would first think. 2nd, night trains rule. Treat yourself to a comfortable option, it's probably cheaper than a hotel night + a train ticket.
