Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Riders without helmets

Do you care if other riders don’t wear a helmet? I’m not talking about someone in your paceline, but a random on the road. Some people even comment on a riders lack of helmet. The Dutch hardly wear helmets when commuting, pantini didn’t wear a helmet, what’s with the helmet police?

True. I cannot remember seeing ordinary people wearing helmets in Holland.

Hey Larry, much like gun discussions and political discussions and religious discussions, all of which tend to get out of hand and become too hostile, we don't condone helmet discussions throughout most of Bike Forums. If you wish, you can join the helmet discussions here, the ONLY place allowed on BF. As you will see, most people decide they're not really as passionate about the topic as they once thought. How about you?
