So here's a question: While I agree that helmets as a safety measure are over valued, I do think they have their place. For instance, my wearing a helmet makes my wife feel better. ;-) Also, there are certainly some people who adopt a very different attitude towards a cyclist depending on the presence or absence of a helmet. One of them is "clearly" safety-conscious, and one of them "is going to get themselves or someone else killed." The question is: which category does this helmet put you in? "Is he wearing a helmet because he's a safe, responsible bike rider? Or is he wearing it because he's about to try and jump my car on his bicycle?"
It's always good to keep them guessing.
