Helmets: wear 'em or don't
This is a rant. Nothing else. It can be responded to, or ignored. I need to get this sh*t off my chest.
I see people riding with their helmet's hanging on their bars or on their bags. Now, people ride with skid-lids on or not. I respect and have subscribed to both. If you're not plannning ride with a helm, leave it at home.
I have this vision of people crowded around this fallen, unconscious cyclist scratching their heads thinking, "Why didn't they wear a helmet? Look, it's just there. On their bars. Why didn't they wear it? Oooh, they're brain just got on my shoe, ickky."
And don't tell me it's about fashion. Carrying your helmet on your bars is way stupider than carrying it on your head.
In the words of Mr Miyagi, "Karate yes, okay. Karate no, okay. Karate maybe, swish."
That's it
