NOOOOO! Not a helmet thread. Run away, Run Away. Abandon hope all ye who enter here...

I personally of course think everyone should be wrapped in bubble wrap. Light weight, good protection and since it is see-through you can still show off your lycra shorts and fancy jerseys. What's not to like? And, since head injuries are much rare than the rest of the injuries, it seems to me to be very important to protect the rest of your body. After all, you never know, you could end up with a long hospital stay that the bubble wrap could prevent. I know the current bubblewrap doesn't breathe, but I am sure they can figure out a way to ventilate it a bit better.

I think a law should be passed requiring everyone to be wrapped in bubblewrap as soon as they leave their beds - especially the children. Do you know how many children end up in the hospital every year from broken bones, etc? And think of the old people who fall and break a hip - it seems like a week can't pass without me hearing about someone falling and breaking a hip - and I am sure a lot goes unreported. Bubblewrap for everyone!

Sorry folks - feeling goofy today, just got my bike back from the shop and had a really good ride - blame it on the endorphins...
