........page #226 WOOT !!

Just one last thing on my way out the door. If you have not yet figured it out from the
last several pages, I could give a royal rat's ass about whether any of the guys I've
talked to here do or do not wear a helment. I do know that in the emergency services
business, there's a general consensus it's a good idea on a bicycle, but it's more from
the number of incidents you go on where people are genuinely ****ed up than from any
science...........what you like to call anecdotal, but in pretty significant numbers.

And it's not just fire and ambulance guys, but ER physicians seem pretty well brainwashed
in this direction as well. Again, they see a lot of unhappiness on a daily basis, and anything
that seems to promise some degree of mitigation is gonna be embraced.......human nature.
