By the way I agree that If you are willing to take the risk and say that, then you should do what you think is best for you. But not to tell other people any of the 1 - 6 reasons are really good enough. JMO
You and I are on the same page. The helmet argument is a risk/benefit assessment, plain and simple. I can't and don't speak for others, but I've never wasted my time disputing the studies. To argue that wearing a helmet us useless is pointless, but equally pointless is arguing that only idiots and the reckless would ride a bicycle without one.
