You said you don't drink coffee. Consider starting, or trying something to assist with your reading comprehension skills, which are grade-school level. The point is that the perceived danger of cycling is what stops many from riding.

You obviously didn't read it, nor were you familiar with the source. Again, the point is that the perceived danger of cycling is what stops many from riding. Try to keep up.

You are confusing yourself. You questioned why helmets still exist, if they do not keep people safe. I explained that many products which do not keep people safe remain on sale. Now you are claiming that "science and knowledge has moved on" -- which means you are now agreeing with me, and realize that the outdated belief in bicycle helmet efficiency should have disappeared by now, and so it's legitimate to wonder why they are even still available to purchase. Are you now agreeing with me or have you simply been trolling this entire time?

As a matter of fact, bicycle helmet testing standards are a huge part of the problem. But you didn't know that either, because you are basically a troll, and completely without knowledge on the topic at-hand.

And the market is full of untested helmets, as well.

Have you ever even read one single article on the topic of bicycle helmets? It is difficult for me to imagine how clueless you are on this topic, while still seemingly being interested in it.

Be careful what you wish for. I can go on illustrating your incompetence on this topic for literally days, and you might wind up permanently scarred like shelbyfv.
