^ ha.
I like my helmet. If I hit a ped and fall, maybe it will protect me. If I get hit by a bus at speed..maybe not. Do I care if you use one? Not a hoot.
I've hit my head badly twice before - once climbing and once snowboarding, both times finding myself out cold. I am yet to hit my head coming off a bike - but presumably there's still time. The anecdotal evidence that it will help in this situation, for me outweighs the evidence that it wont.
