UK cyclists can go straight to hell. Get off our board and start spelling
words correctly.

Interestingly the international standard spelling for Aluminium is the
British spelling, but the international standard spelling for Sulfur
is the US one. If it comes to a fight, though - it's our language, we
had it first, so go invent your own :-)

Check the x-post list.

In Norway they live in the mountains and are not at all amusing to
encounter. On Usenet they live under bridges (supposedly) and can be
amusing to play with for a while.

Don't know what it's like in your part of the world, but here in australia,
if you tried to drive with helmet, you WILL get stopped for at least pure
curiosity.

They live in lakes as well, taking the form of boats until you are in mid
water. And in forests. There was an exhibition I went to in a local gallery
in Roedtangen which had nice landscapes, untill you stepped back and looked
at them slightly askance and out of focus. Then you see the trolls..

* One of BHIT claims is that it has been shown in Canada that helmet
use has saved lives. This claim cannot be substantiated and is
blatantly false.

Just to put my $.02 worth in..........Maybe bike helmets haven't saved
lives in Canada but I would be willing to bet a donut that many EMT's
everywhere else would say they have saved lives in their country. From the
looks of this flame war it appears there are at least some Canadian's
with heads so hard they don't need helmets.

BTW I do wear a helmet for the same reason I wear safty glasses, a hard
hat and safty shoes at work. If 10 tons of steel falls on me all my safty
equipment isn't going to help. Nor is my helmet going to help if I get
under the tire of an 18 wheeler. But with the more ordinary and frequent
type of accident all my safty equipment can help out a lot. I can and
have walked away unhurt from incidents that would at the very least
resulted in painful bruises.

So if you guys don't mind, and I do know some of you do, I'll keep my
helmet on my head and do what I can to protect the ole cranium.

Weird. First reply to state "plonk." Still unclear where he stands.
I can only assume for freedom of choice.
