Cyclists are kings of the road in the Netherlands. Cycle helmets: an international resource. Cutting through the controversy about helmet effectivenessAnalysis by Piet de Jong shifts the focus of the helmet debate onto the arguments about the degree to which the large health benefits of cycling outweigh the far smaller risks involved. de Jong uses mathematical modelling to show that even under the most optimistic predictions of helmet benefit, the net public health outcome of helmet promotion (or laws) is negative.
Bias in older research, no net benefit from helmets in later studiesRune Elvik, from the Norwegian Institute of Transport Economics, has used the latest methodologies to identify bias and conflict of interest in older helmet research that has greatly exaggerated the benefits. Analysing more recent studies, any benefit vanishes entirely. Why are Dutch cyclists more likely to be injured if they wear helmets?
The Netherlands is the safest country in the world in which to cycle and very few people wear helmets. Alcohol: obscuring the outcomes of helmet research? Rohloff / Speedhub.

Delgado For the ones who like to protect their clothing from getting dirty during a more intense ride, Hesling has found the solution.
The result is "the Delgado", a sporty looking, lightweight and soundless chain case. Using this chain case you can even use your trekking bike to go to work. This chain case thanks its sporty appearance to the small lines which follows the chain line. Unique to this chain case is that although there is little space for the chain it still remains almost soundless. Fallbrook Technologies Inc. Improved energy management.

Does it actually say ‘made in Holland’ somewhere on the bike? Dutch style bikes are not Dutch. They might sit you up straight (more on this in a moment), share a few similar features, but they are not made in Holland. And if we are honest, they are never as cute and endearing as a Dutchie. Posture Getting on a Dutchie for the first time is a completely new experience if you are used to riding mountain bikes, or pretty much any other style of bike for that matter. This riding position takes almost all the weight off your wrists and onto your rear (they come with very comfortable saddles of course). Cycling is no longer just about getting from A to B on an exercise machine, head down with eyes focused on the tarmac just in front of you.
