I too prefer a cycling environment without all the fear driven drama.

I-Like-To-Bike,
I'd trade the bicycling infrastructure that is present in Gouda, The Netherlands for a helmet if I could. Instead, I must cope with a culture in the USA which promotes auto-mobility and crazy driving behavior. Since I am 68, I probably would still use a helmet when on my upright bikes, but with the recumbent and that infrastructure, a helmet would be less needed. I went to Google Maps to see where Gouda was, and
got an interesting street view.
