Thank goodness all us slo-mo duds (who aren't in dang race all the time and have no need to look the part) can get by quite well without, eh?
Datz wot I thought all along.
Silly tool.
No it's not what
I mean.
One
could make all sorts of arguments about the (lack of) effectiveness of helmets but showing that a population of slow cyclists which just doesn't happen to use them is a
poor one.
Also, the safety standards in a few significant "Asian" countries is notoriously poor (a level that even you might find to be a problem).
The existence of "pictures" of people not wearing helmets doesn't do anything to establish that they are better off.
