@ChrisWere @readyfedigo Just had a look around (for the first time)I LOVE the concept….but as is often the case the viewership (ie utility) seems low. Needs to reach a critical mass of awareness and the more people such as yourself who promote it in practice the better!

Thread: I posted a poll yesterday asking if people wear bike helmets or not. This generated quite a bit of commentary (this is to be expected I suppose because this topic comes up in the #bikeTooter community regularly).To be clear. I think it is up to the individual to make an informed decision as to wearing helmets or not.The problem is with the informed part….#bike #safety #science

On reading the comments many people who had strong reactions to wearing helmets seemed to base it on an infringement of personal freedoms or on the belief that helmets are proven to be completely ineffective.#bike #bikeTooter #science

Again, I believe the decision to wear helmets should be a personal one. But before making that decision I review of good clinical evidence is required. Not popular belief from within bubbles of conformation bias reporting.So here are some recent studies from the medical literature. ….#bike #bikeTooter #science #medical

“Effectiveness of bicycle helmets and injury prevention: a systematic review of meta-analyses”Note: A systemic review of meta-analysis is a very robust review of previous studies."The examined literature confirms that wearing a helmet while cycling is beneficial, regardless of age, crash severity, or crash type. The relative benefit is found to be higher in high-risk situations and when cycling on shared roads and particularly preventing severe head injuries.”https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-023-35728-x

Effect of helmet use on maxillofacial injuries due to bicycle and scooter accidents: a systematic literature review and meta-analysis."Patients who had worn a helmet suffered significantly fewer maxillofacial injuries than patients who had not, in bicycle accidents (odds ratio 0.682). In conclusion, wearing a helmet has a significant protective effect against maxillofacial injury”#bikeTooter #bikehttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0901502723000140

Estimating lives saved and serious injuries reduced by bicycle helmet use in Colorado, 2006–2014."found that approximately one of every two bicyclists killed may have survived (HEF = 0.50) and one of every three seriously injured bicyclists may have been less seriously injured (HEF = 0.33) if wearing a helmet at the time of the collision.”#bikeTooter #bike #riding #medial #sciencehttps://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/17457300.2024.2441501

A long-read of high strangeness. “Eastern Kentucky suffered devastating floods in 2022 and 2023. Not long after, residents reported encountering goblins, mysterious beings who, account after account, were reported to resemble Dobby, the house elf from Harry Potter. “https://oxfordamerican.org/magazine/issue-130-fall-2025/gobsmacked#highStrangeness #anomalous
