You're incorrect; this was not my intent. I was merely posting up a weblog entry that may give someone who hadn't come to their own conclusions yet, (I was one of those people 20 years ago) some food for thought. That others allow themselves to get wrapped around the axle over this issue isn't my fault as I personally don't get angry over issues like this. I make my choice and move on.

I posted this in the commuting forum since commuting is a "jumping on" point for many new/returning cyclists. When I was a returning cyclist in 1990, the concept of a helmet never crossed my mind. I was given the pro view many times, and resisted. In 1992 I started wearing a helmet, and that's my choice, a choice that I made after considering the factors that I felt important. Someone else may take the same data set, and come to a different conclusion. That's called free will. If someone gets angry when presented with one persons viewpoint, I can't help that.
