They are totally useless in a collision. Don't believe me? ask the manufacturers.Motorists pass closer to helmeted riders making collision more likely. The test with the plate & melon is applicable to pedestrians while standing or car drivers. No force or speed factor at all.Helmets for pedestrians? Try impact at 20mph with a car. Cycling is not dangerous. The motor industry has an interest in making it seem so. It's why they promote bike lids.
Bike trains work best with two adults: one to ride at the front of the group to set the pace and make go/no go decisions at intersections; the other rides behind all the kiddos to observe and enforce safe riding behavior. If only one adult is available, as in this video, he/she should be behind all the riders. If needed, they can speed up and ride to the left of the group to address safety and behavior concerns.
Bicycle safety 1. Discourage the use of helmets.
