Bikes: Custom commuter made from Civia Prospect frame, Raleigh Sports (1971), custom road bike from a steel 2003 Fuji Marseille frame, 29er SS MTB built up from a Vassago Jabberwocky frame, Surly Long Haul Trucker (customzed for fully loaded touring)

As I was passing a woman coming the other way on the MUP, she pats on her helmet and mouths "helmet" to me. I guess she really wants me to wear a helmet. It happens every once in a while. Seems crazy to me. I'd feel a lot safer if these poor cyclists would keep their hands on their bars as much as possible.
