Do you need an extra large helmet for an extra large head?
The issue is why you made/make such an issue of another cyclist's choice on wearing an optional piece of equipment? And why you think showing off all your bicycles to Mr. (as you describe him) $10 head gave your scolding/nannying/preaching any extra credence?
BTW, couldn't care less if, why, or what you were driving that day or any other; did someone ask?
