  1. itsa comparative deal.
    helmets save lives
    but dayglo Walmart baseball caps at $2.50 (unless itsthe day before
    groundhog season)
    are VISIBLE thus reducing accidents maybe 10xxxx.

    Helmets are mostly not visible therby increasing the probs for
    accidents over dayglo baseball caps.

    dayglo helmet covers!!! in a bug proof mesh, lycra or spandex with
    poly snuggly fitting the Bell or Giro.

    with a loop atop for a we elight goes blinky blinky blinky

    For years after W.W.II the Russians were leaders in brain research, Why?
    During a large part of the 2nd WW very few of their troops were equipped
    with helmets so they suffered for more head injuries.

    Many the medical rounds in a neurology ward is called "watering the
    vegetables"

    Nah, he's a chain-yanker.

  6. ahhhh? I'm at a loss for words. The top of your head is the most
    visible point. Using the synaptic threshold of SUV pilots, helmet
    colors are inadequate colors for closing the pilot's brain circuits in
    recognition of BICYCLE DEAD AHEAD.

    There's a major post on helmet safety or not. The major question
    raised here is not to wear or not to wear but to wear a helmet to
    increase visibility not decrease visibility.

    NOT run over is the goal before not splitting the head open AFTER
    first impact.

    VISIBILITY is primary, head safety is secondary but head safety with
    head visibility now you're talkin' turkey.

    I don't know that it matters to motorists. How many times have
    motorists SEEN the bicycle and just assumed that it would
    stop/slow/turn in plenty of time to avoid an accident - so they cut it
    off regardless of visibility issues.

    The only truly effective helmet would feature a superlight
    auto-targeting terawatt laser on a 360/270 gimbal that would
    autovaporize cars, trucks and SUVs operated by people talking on cell
    phones. Of course, you'd need a lot of high-temp gas outflow
    protection...

    I should think that the fact that

    a) Scharf (who won't provide citations for the claims he makes that are in
    contradiction to the wealth of information available);
    b) Sornson (who can't do simple maths and prefers to 'ignore data";
    c) Ozark (an admitted pro-MHL crazy);
    d) Pirerro (who randomly threatens violence when asked polite questions
    about his reasoning); and
    e) Clare-at-Snyder (who wants to use religion as his guidance but gets very
    upset and refuses to answer questions when that is pointed out)

    are in favour of helmets is sufficient indication that there is probably
    little to recommend them.

    But if that's not enough, try www.cyclehelmets.org.

    And yet research shows closer passing of helmetted cyclists.

    "research"??? About the same quality of "research" that "shows" that
    homeopathy cures disease!
