This reminds me of the anti-motorcycle helmet whackos who actually try to justify their stance with bogus 'statistics' and logic. I would support them if they'd simply say 'we know it's more dangerous but we want to feel the wind in our hair'. OK. I can accept that. But trying to rationalize that behavior as somehow not being MUCH more hazardous than riding with a helmet is beyond moronic. It's insidious and deceptive. Profoundly so.

You think bicycle helmets suck? I don't even feel mine. It weighs 8 oz or so. My MOTORCYCLE helmet is like wearing a refrigerator on your head. And I DO wear one. Every time I ride. If I'm on two wheels I have a brain bucket on. Period.
