So.... let's build out better transit?

If you have a ponytail they're even more careful.

Solution = helmets with ponytails.

I've found that putting a camera on your helmet makes them much more careful. Also less likely to road rage at you when they see a recording light blinking.

I've heard of it but haven't been willing to forego wearing a helmet in order to test it.

What I have noticed is that drivers are a lot more deferential when I'm riding my cargo bike with the kids in the back.

And despite that, you're still more likely to be killed if you don't wear a helmet.

I remember ther was a thing with putting like a clown afro wig on the helmet so it looked like you were not wearing one.

I've found wearing a bright orange puffer jacket helps too, only really an option in winter though...

What about assholes in big trucks? Do they ever pass you safely?

Definitely have a lot more close pass while wearing helmet than the one time i didn't wear it, but then this could be the amount of time i wear helmet vs the time i don't.
