They both can ride like jerks. I'm not arguing the helmet. My statement was simple, it kills me that people play in traffic (weaving, cutting people off etc ), without a helmet, endangering themelves unecessarily without any sort of protection. Would you go mountain biking without a helmet?
I don't consider commuting dangerous (with or without a helmet), even though there are dangers on the road...riding like a manic, weaving into trafficwithout a helmet is foolish.
