New study on bike helmets has some shocking findings:
⛑️ Cyclist with helmets are seen as less human
🦺 Cyclists wearing safety vests as least human
😱 Dehumanization leads to being discounted, ignored, mistreated, or deliberately harmed

This is really interesting
#bike safety attire disguises people as highly visible non-humans?
Winning strategy! 🦺💀
Great insight though, that could lead to safety breakthroughs
I’m curious what “human” looking cyclists would have to look like to satisfy dangerous drivers 🫤
I wonder if putting eyes on the back of #BikeHelmets would help?
Like they put eyes on the back of helmets to prevent people from getting attacked by tigers 🐯
