Ed, though I don't give a flying fuck whether you ride a helmet or not, Actively advising people, in a bike shop, to not buy a helmet is stupid, and actually quite irresponsible.
I'm going to put it this way:
If there's even a chance that a helmet will prevent you from brain injury- it is worth taking that chance, 'cos frankly, for all the Cycle Training in the world, a small fall off your bike onto you're head by a random unavoidable incident, or freak mis-clip, etc, MAY change your world irrevocably.
TO advise someone to NOT buy a helmet for me is inexcusable.
This opinion is much like my opinion on religions- I don't give a fuck what you believe, but if you're trying to suggest those beliefs on me, or other people, I won't like it.
