I must commend GlassWolf and rruff (among others) for maintaining a very civil discussion.
At other times/threads this has unfortunately not been the case here at BF.

P.S. In the interest of full disclosure I'll admit I am a helmet wearer and continue to belive in them, although all my worst training/racing accidents occured with no helmet or just leather hairnet on. Last accident - 2years ago knocked me out cold by the side of the road/shattered the foam helmet I was wearing.
