After reading countless of "AHSML stories" I can only conclude that a great many of the True Believers see Bicycle Helmets as the ultimate one size fits all approach to bicycle safety. In those stories they claim that people should always wear a bicycle helmet while they ignore the often painfully obvious ways in which the accident could have been avoided altogether. So they appear to be clueless in even the most basic safety stuff, which is especially worrying since helmets appear to be pretty worthless protection against the more severe head injuries. So I make a habit of spelling out that bicycle safety is mainly about accident prevention, especially in case of new cyclists. Apparently it's not as straightforward as I thought before I became aware of how people role in other societies.



@rydabent I made a habit out of ignoring you, your latest post directed at me is just another reason as to why I will keep on doing that.
