Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

If you're in the safest country for cyclist, then you don't need a helmet as much. Is that not obvious? If you're only separated by cars by a line of paint, you might want as much protection as you can afford.
Fuck. Bike helmets do not protect you from automobile collisions. They are fucking styrofoam. They protect you from falling over while standing still. THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE LITERALLY DESIGNED FOR. If you want protection from automobiles, you need a motorcycle helmet or a helmet as worn by race drivers. A bike helmet won't do shit, isn't designed to do shit in that situation. You're just being superstitious.
