I will always wear a helmet while riding for the respect from drivers alone, But the talk does shine a little light on urban use and how possibly folks could be lead to believe dangers that for 99% of your riding, isn't dangerous at all. For me, today the helmet will simply keep my head warm.
The title I think is only an eye grabber for a far more important issue, Bikes and Cars working together. Click on the URL below and take the time to watch this little talk.

ReplyDeleteInteresting, but not entirely convincing. I've gone down (on a DF) hard enough to crack my helmet. Sincerely doubt that having a brain box on led me to ride recklessly on that one! It would be interesting to see how accident statistics break down by age / gender. Personally, a helmet kept me, at the least, from a bad head injury. I won't ride without one! I also won't hassle folks who don't.
