The real solution here is to educate people about the importance of helmets and about the importance of other safety measures such as safe cycling practices.

So the real solution to cyclists getting run over is teaching cyclists about safety?

I'm not against teaching the importance of helmet and cycling safely - I think those are relevant ingredients - but this is FAR far away from a real solution.

Okay, yeah, I was thinking only from the cyclists' perspective. Definitely the most important part is to teach drivers to drive safely with cyclists.
