I have never been hit by a driver cycling without a helmet and I do it all the time. I was wearing a helmet when I was hit by a driver and it probably saved my life. Understanding the hierarchy of controls should be the basic entry required to engage in this conversation. (I haven’t listened yet)

NEW! "Fine, We're Doing a Helmet Episode." After Mayor Mamdani posted a video showing him wearing a bike helmet, social media exploded. But what are helmets designed to do? Who sets the standards? And what is it about the mere mention of them that causes people to lose their minds? bit.ly/4gFMJub

I feel like I missed summer. As in didn't notice. Not some forlorn longing nonsense. Maybe because it got unusually hot in early May then didn't again? This summer was weird.

Every Friday I ride from the West End up Grouse and back home except today. Of course except today. And none of you have video of the water main at Marine and Capilano. What a stupid day.
