‘Harm’ against the fatbike? Utrecht students think helmet and age limit are nonsense

Harm against the fatbike Utrecht students think helmet and age

On the schoolyard of the Leidsche Rijn College, dozens of fat bikes are in the bike shed. Thijmen (14) often sits on a friend’s fat bike. He is not happy about the helmet requirement. “I think it’s a bit nonsense,” he says resolutely. “Otherwise they should also do that with an electric bike, not just with fat bikes. I even think that older people should wear a helmet sooner, because they are more vulnerable.”
