This is true. After looking into the issue further and further I saw the need for me to wear one less and less. I'd never tell anyone to not wear a helmet, yet I see and hear taunts from helmeteers towards others who feel and think differently, to wear one.

Pro-choicers are not trying to convert helmeteers to ditch their helmets. It seems more the case that helmeteers go to no end to convince pro-choicers their choice is wrong (and moronic).

It goes to such extremes that some helmeteers even endorse helmet use by law justifying this with such tactics as using statistics deceptively, such as using the one that started this thread (cited from a site that endorses carefully drawn, all-ages helmet laws)
