I just came back from Berlin where people drive in a civilized manner (unlike in Boston). Depicting these cute cyclists without helmets is irresponsible here. It encourages bikers to ride like in Europe. I was hit by a car once in three years and almost every day. I can tell you this is not Europe.
Hmmm, I think you're jumping to conclusions based on one post. You might look at others, like the one where I stated my position on helmets. I'll just add that I wore a helmet when I lived in Europe and I wear one here, every day. I would chastise a child for not wearing one. But I do let adults make their own choices. If you click on the tag "helmet" in the right-hand bar you will see all the chic cyclists of Boston who are wearing helmets. Enjoy!
I just want to add that I am but one girl with a day job, I get in 10 minutes of photos now and then and make no pretensions of covering all of Boston.
If you have photos of urban riders in New England, please send them in and I'll be only too happy to post them with attribution.
Just email chiccyclist at yahoo dot com. I'd love to see what I know I'm missing!
