Same old **** posted many times in the past.

B.F.D.

And, funny thing, it does not reflect my experiences at all. I ride
with and without, depending on other issues. The berth given by motor
vehicles pretty much remains the same.

OTOH, I find (some) drivers are a good deal more hostile when I and/or
my riding companions are 'en regalia' (lycra shorts, loud jerseys,
racy shoes, etc.). Perhaps they just think we're arrogant, grimacing,
overly intense Lance-a-likes, instead people out having a good time.

They're rubbing my elbows now- I can't imagine with a helmet!

That's in traffic.

YMMV riding through rock gardens.

I may be off base, but I envison you looking like that comic book
store owner in the Simpsons or something.

Of course. I have taken enough spills and encountered enough low
hanging branches while riding off road to convince me of the value of a
helmet in those circumstances. On the street, sometimes I wear one,
sometimes I don't. One thing is for sure. It is not up to the safety
zealots to tell me I have to wear one!

You are picking a fight with nobody. Knock yourself out, as the saying
goes.

You're absolutely correct, helmet use should be wholly the decision of
the adult user; no one needs or want more government in their lives.

OTOH, the extremist bozos who try to make their case by stating that
helmets make cycling more hazardous are even worse than the safety
zealots.

A pox on both houses.
