    I don’t even ride my bicycle over 15mph, unless I absolutely have to for some reason. I don’t race, and at absolute max my single speed low geared BMX bike can only achieve is 24mph, which I practically never ride that fast.

    Read my other comments, my usual cruising pace is ~11mph, and when I do BMX flatland tricks, those are only usually around a mere 5mph. I don’t ride any faster than my feet can stop me in a pinch. Brakeless rider here no less.

    Try watching a BMX flatland video or three, flatland isn’t about speed, its about balance. Sure some riders like to speed, but not me, I just like to cruise and pull some occasional bike tricks.

    You might as well insist that the Olympics make ice skaters wear a helmet, equally as dangerous at such low speeds.

      15mph is plenty fast for a fatal head injury, never mind 24.

      You are not an Olympic athlete, you apparently a delusional helmetless person doing tricks on a bicycle, possibly with a prior head injury that is clouding your judgement.

      I’m done arguing with you though, there’s no point arguing with a person who disregards reality.

      Byeeeeee!
