>>In spite of all the naysayers they just do.<<

'Naysayers'? You MUST be joking. Those people are *******. Forget 'em.

Let me explain a simple reality to the morons who try to rationalize riding without helmets: while they won't save you from every disaster, a HUGE percentage of fatal injuries in cycling accidents are head injury related. YOU ride without a helmet.

My Giro helmet has absolutely saved me from death or serious injury twice in a year. It's the biggest 'duh' in cycling to me. And anyone else with a gram of common sense. It's your life weenies. There are lots of ways to die, but having your widow explain to your kids that Daddy died because he was too STUPID to wear a bike helmet would be right up there with 'Daddy died from a cocaine lnduced heart attack Junior'.

But by all means, ride without a helmet. Good grief, why do we waste time debating with these lunatics?
