Eclectus

I do. Gone down on my noggin twice, the helmet did its job. I've hit tree limbs, glad to have something absorb the bangs. I see people who don't use helmets, even an ER doc. We oldsters grew up without them. I think this is a choice item, like listening to music while riding. I don't think we should have laws mandating helmet use. Whether they are useful depends a lot on the type of riding an individual does. I like wearing a helmet, but I'm not going to denounce people who don't wear them. Riding is a series of risk assessments and adjustments. I think not wearing a helmet can be reasonably safe. On the other hand, I didn't let my kids ride without them, even after they passed the no-helmet-required legal age, when they were still under my roof.
