If there is anybody at this website that doesn't wear a helmet, please tell me, that way I know if I'm talking to an idiot. 62% of all bicycle related deaths are the result of no helmet. Get a clue, and protect your coconut.

Helmets will prevent certain head injuries (the reason I wear one), but offer no substitute for sensible cycling.

As your high school science teacher probably taught you, be careful how you interpret data.
AH, I'm just giving you the rasberries. I always wear a helmet too.

I've only had two crashes worth mentioning, (both endos), but both times I felt my head bounce off the ground. I'm a believer!

Reminds me of Mohammed Ali. Even when you walk away from an accident, if you get your cranium pummeled often enough it may cause problems later on.
