the final word on helmets
Yeah sure it will be... I have to ask everyone who chooses not to wear a helmet. [ I'm not passing judgement. I'm an agnostic myself when it comes to brain buckets] If a helmet law is passed in your jurisdiction would you: 1] Stop cycling? 2] Flout the law? 3] Submit to the man? -- 'If I seem unduly clear to you you must have misunderstood what I said' -alan greenspan |

I suppose I would submit and buy one. I don't wear one now primarily because 1) they're expensive and 2) I just don't like hats, and only wear one when I absolutely have to. Cheto |

Where I live, bicyclists are classified as pedestrians and are subject only to those laws. Such laws will never include mandatory helmets for people on foot. Michael J.

I have not and never will buy a helmet to ride a bicycle. I have not and never will wear a helmet while riding a bicycle. Unless I become a really good cyclist and join a club which forces you to wear one. I hear on club rides, helmets are mandatory. But that's ok because I will be surrounded by helmet heads. http://hometown.aol.com/lbuset/ |

Even if they were $2 I still wouldn't buy one. Part of the reason I enjoy bicycling - even more than motorcycling - is that I don't have to wear a bunch of safety crap. Cheto |
