I started cycling seriously in 1974 no helmet and rode like an @zz. I started wearing a helmet full time in 1988 and rode like an @zz. It's 2015, still wearing a helmet and still riding like an @zz.

I don't think about my helmet when I am cycling. I think about what I am doing - what is going on around me. What color socks I am wearing or what kind of hat is on my head is about the farthest thing from my mind in the trenches.
