I'm sorry, you seem to have me confused with some kind of pro-helmet advocate. While I do wear a helmet for most rides, I don't proselytize or evangelize about them. It's a personal choice and while I think helmets are way cool, like Jesus, I'm perfectly OK with the choices others make.

I.e. Please indicate where in this thread I wrote that I might be worried about hurting my head from falling over.
