☆ The bike helmet debate rages on as study finds drivers view cyclists wearing safety gear as 'less human'
  + stars: | 2023-06-26 | by ( Eliza Relman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
A recent study found that drivers viewed cyclists wearing a helmet or safety vest as "less human." This research could add fuel to the debate over bike helmet mandates in the US. Researchers found that cyclists wearing helmets or vests are viewed as "less human" than those without any safety gear on. GHI/UCG/Universal Images Group via Getty ImagesBike helmet mandates might do more harm than goodThe research could add fuel to the debate over helmet mandates, which are in place in about 200 localities and more than 20 states across the US. Notably, bike helmet usage and mandates are rare in cities with strong bike infrastructure and large numbers of cyclists, including in Europe.

☆ Why Paris is one of the few cities in the world banning rental e-scooters
  + stars: | 2023-04-09 | by ( Eliza Relman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
Transportation experts say the Paris ban doesn't necessarily mean much for the growth of micromobility. The diverging approaches to rental e-scooters by major cities around the world reflects the technology's chaotic rollout over the last few years and an inability for cities to keep up with sufficient regulations, experts say. Either way, experts say the regulatory environment in Paris and many other places just hasn't been able to keep up. Transportation experts say Paris' ban isn't necessarily reflective of how the public in that city — or any — feels about e-scooters. Despite the setback in Paris, transportation experts say electric vehicles of all sorts, from e-scooters, to e-bikes, to electric buses, are the future of transport in cities around the world.
☆ It's not easy being a bicyclist in the US. Better infrastructure could help.

Advocates are asking for more funding for bike safety measures, in addition to e-bike tax credits. The best way to address biking safety concerns, advocates say, is to build better bike infrastructure, including a robust system of bike lanes. If passed, the law wouldn't directly address the most pressing safety and infrastructure concerns facing bicyclists, but advocates say it could help. At the same time, this growing community of new bicyclists would likely demand better bike lanes and other infrastructure. Ultimately, advocates say it's about return on investment: More bikes, and better bike infrastructure, could lead to big savings for commuters and a rethinking of how everyone navigates their landscape.
