Well, you've demonstrated a critical need for improved reading comprehension about a dozen times now -- I was being charitable and hoping your problem was a lack of coffee. Turns out, it may be a lack of ability to understand, which you continually demonstrate as well.

68% of American cyclists do not wear helmets. I am far from the only person who is aware that they do not work -- I'm just one of extremely few willing to attempt to educate persons like yourself.

Again with the lack of comprehension. You are no less safe with the wind in your hair versus wearing a bicycle helmet.

It is amusing that you are so completely uninformed that you think peer review has value.

68% of American cyclists do not wear helmets. You hold the minority opinion.

It is a great argument to illustrate that you are completely clueless on this topic -- since you were just preaching about manufacturers rigorously testing their helmets. That is precisely not the case, which is why Virginia Tech University has had to step into the breach and develop a test program.
And you had absolutely zero clue about that, until I educated you. As with the remainder of this entire topic.

So are you willing to accept my challenge, or not? If I provide the statistics that I previously referenced, will you be an honest person and admit that you have been wrong?
