• so your saying that you have just as much chance of getting hurt walking or falling from your bed than you do whilst riding a bike? was there a guard rail on the bunk bed your friend fell from? sounds like there wasnt..otherwise he wouldnt have fell, so in that case it was his fault. and as for walking and cycling being just as dangerous as each other...hmmm..now let me think, driving close to cars, busses and other heavy vehicles that dont usually give two shits about pulling out on you, cutting in front of you or just not even paying attention that you are even there...or walking on the pavement? my previous point was that if you fall from your bike (that you are much more likely to do than walking) (it doesnt take a genius or any amount of data to work that one out) and land on your head..the most important feature of yourself, then at least your head will be better off than it would have been without it. but most other fuckwits on here think its a good idea to question that and put even more reason not to wear a helmet into the heads of those who think its to un-cool to wear one. and personally i think thats fucking stupid.


    but this is just my point. it seems as though cycling should be more dangerous than walking etc, but whining at people to wear a helmet because something just seems dangerous is uncool. i only think it is worth wearing a helmet if an activity actually is dangerous and, if you are going to whinge at me, then you need to show it is by giving me some data on the relative risk of serious head injury per hour/mile of activity. otherwise it is no less valid than me saying you should wear a helmet in bed because it looks dangerous to me.
