Not - an advocacy or safety issue?
Just wonder why the helmet thread was relocated to road cycling.
Is this an indication the Mods don't consider helmet use and advocacy, or safety issue?

The last thread was retitled, because apparently the mods felt that guarding the original title (given by a Helmet Believer) was biasing the thread against the responses that they wished to prevail.
Perhaps this is another attempt to shore-up an obnoxious viewpoint? Don't really see how, but then I thought that the original thread was a pretty stupid approach anyway.

I can see how roadies would want to discuss helmets, but I can't see how helmets are not an advocacy or safety issue.
That thread has been on this sub-forum for over 6 years. Now it's not? I'm curious as to why.

Cycle Year Round
It belongs in the professional racing forum, since they and a few odd towns are the only ones who are mandated to wearing them.

Mods thought the body count would be higher to watch over there?

I see the thread is back to A&S this morning. Good news. My beef with those who insist on helmet use relates to A&S, not road riding.

I get the "what a dip Sh@t look when I ride in some parts of my town with my helmet. So I'm a dork! At least I may have some brains left following a steel/asphalt/cement impact!
