I think you've been riding without a helmet. I was saying helmet-less riders are STUPID compared to ******** people, that ******** people are SMARTER than riders without helmets, that helmet-less riders are mental-midgets.

I thought that was clear by the rest of my post that said
"It's just stupid to ride without a helmet in a group ride if only because it makes the rest of the group look like they condone ******** behavior to the casual observer.

I would hate to see some kid watch the group ride by and think riding without a helmet is ok.

Besides, with so many choices there is no excuse for style. The kids around my house love my Giro and always want to wear it because they think it looks so cool."
