do you have a source for that?

That does not seem like an environment we should use to determine if the rest of the world should take a substance lol

Thanks for the context! I hope HN will stay a place for knowledge sharing and deep conversations

I feel a little bit of irony in this post of a company/forum that is asking its users to not use AI while simultaneously trying to fund countless companies that are responsible for ruining the internet as we speak.

I know everyone loves to hate Angular but it is in a really good place at the moment. If you don't need SSR and just want to build an SPA, Angular is the way to go imho.

I don't know if i agree that Belgians don't have a national identity. I just think that the Flemish nationalist parties push the Flemish nationality identity so hard that Flemish people more identify as Flemish then as Belgian.

However Walloon people definitely feel Belgian and have a Belgian pride.

Also, i don't know if a nation state is defined by having a national identity?

What do you mean by 'Belgium is not a nation state', if i may ask?

Yes, and as i mentioned, generally speaking that will not kill you if you wont go too fast. Like with an omafiets, you don't go that fast.

I mean, we can go back and forth here all you want. You can look up the data yourself or visit the Netherlands and look around ...

Isolated cyclepaths is the answer. This will (mostly) prevent cyclists to be hit by cars and smashing their heads on curbs.

On a typical dutch 'omafiets' you ride on average 15km/h. these are bikes that are used for every day trafic.

bikepacking is a completely different way of cycling and has nothing to do with the way people in the netherlands use their bikes.

those are speedpedelecs and i agree, you are insane if you don't wear a bike on that.

e-bikes are usually 25km/h max in my countries (Benelux)

As i said, in general, going 15km/h is not fast enough to have a serious fall on your own. Only from external factors can riding a bike be dangerous, like from a car for example. in The Netherlands almost all cycle paths are isolated from cars as much as possible. So in general (again, in general) it is safe enough to drive around without a helmet.

The data backs it up. Look at the deaths per capita in the Netherlands. You can see a steep rise with the introduction of e-bikes, but before that it was one of the lowest in the world. And that is saying something when it is the most cycling dense country of the world.

This only began to become a problem with the introduction of e-bikes. Old people especially are not wearing them on e-bikes. On regular bikes where you are going 15km/h you should not have to wear a helmet. The infrastructure in the Netherlands protects cyclists enough (in general) and a fall at that speed is not really that dangerous (in general, again).

Though an e-bike goes 25km/h. This is a lot more dangerous and people should definitely wear a helmet when driving one.

I know you're asking for advice and not looking for someone to hire here, but the company I work for does just what you are asking for: Creating custom made software for B2B companies.
