the worst part about helmets is you all sit around bickering about it.. giving weight to the issue for non bikers.. so when some dude gets plowed over by a truck in NYC, the press states "he was not wearing a helmet" and the person reading thinks "oh.. no wonder they are dead..."

Wear a helmet or dont... and let other people do whatever the **** they need to do...but drop it as an issue...because its being used against us when the real issue is the roads are not safe to bike on and our safety protection choices are being blamed for it
