Thats asinine.
You absolutely do not know what you are talking about. The reason one practises something is precisely so that one doesn't have to think about it, it becomes automatic - a learned reflex.
Your posts in this thread illustrate precisely what exasperates me about many of those who insist on helmets. You place too much faith in a helmet, which on all the evidence can afford you only very limited protection, and dismiss the notion that you could, by learning how to ride a bike, give yourself a level of security that your helmet can never provide.
