My own summation for wearing a helmet includes----safety in many cases--a place to mount mirrors, lights, cameras, and reflective tape. Also protection from the sun. Then there is the thing about cyclist assumed to be at fault in ANY type of accident if not wearing a helmet. There is the fact that wearing a hemet is very benign. After putting it on everyone just forgets they are wearing one. All of these logical reasons plus probably several more indicate the use of a helmet is just common sense.

Placing all those logical reasons against the trolls that would talk you out of wearing one, they come off looking rather superficial. They dont come right out and say so but their under laying reasons seem to be style and wanting to look like hairy chested he men.
