Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

you guys crack me up. Where are the usual "bike radar's thataway", the yawns, the "utfs"? Why should one person get respect for dredging the tired helmet debate up again while another gets ridicule? Hypocrites.

It's interesting you've cycled for so long roxy and yet apparently only just considered the implications you outline here seriously enough to post about them. But you're saying nothing new whatsoever, it's all been covered before with similar points, many many times, in the catch-all thread for this most unresolvable of debates.

If people want to wear helmets they will, if they don't want to they won't. Until it's made law of course, which i do hope won't be as a result of some evangelical lfgss members' spearheading a campaign off the back of their recent epiphany, which they then ram down others' throats. That would be so much uncooler than just quietly getting on with wearing a helmet because you personally feel it's safer.

qft.
