If I'm gonna be racing, I want a helmet, fire suit, and full roll cage but I won't drive to work that way.
ah, so even if you hit your head in a car with airbags and seatbelts just as much as when you ride a bike, you don't choose to wear a helmet in a car even if the price of failure is great. Curious. Doesn't make sense to me.
What does make sense is that if there isn't any info that cycling is more head injury prone than when we walk or drive maybe we can accept cycling as a safe as anything else and stop worring so much that we have to protect ourselves against phantom risks.
