Everyone has argued the helmet safety thing till the cows come home. BTW I am pro helmet.

Now-----------the point I always argue is the legal aspect. If you are on many bike forums, you must know that it is pretty much open season on cyclist. It is especially true if he or she is not wearing a helmet. If a car runs down a cyclist and they are not wearing a helmet, the driver's lawyer will claim it is not the drivers fault, since the cyclist didnt have a helmet they must have had a death wish. It is hard enough trying to get a conviction in criminal court even if the victim was wearing a helmet let alone if they were not. So--------simply for your legal protection, wear a helmet, it takes away a huge out for the drivers lawyer.
