Helmet rant

[Boris Bajic]

Why, oh why, oh why do idiot cyclists insist on wearing helmets?

This sheepish, mush-for-brains, follow-the-crowd surrender of individuality is quite beyond my comprehension.

Who ever EVER had their life saved by a cycling helmet?

On the contrary, many have been killed, maimed and even alarmed by encouraging motorists (through their use of a helmet) to drive an average of up to and including three inches closer to them.

Don't even get me started on rotational infelicities and thwarted evolutionary trauma syndrome!

Cycling helmets represent the very maddest of all that is good gone mad.

Why, oh why, oh why?

Etc....

So that the wind does not mess up our hair.

There's only one thing worse than wearing a cycle helmet, and that is starting another helmet thread on CC.

You need to try to think past the donkey.

Are you calling me an idiot?

Such biting commentary really makes you take a step back and reassess the whole......uh no it doesn't.

Is that a helmet or are you just pleased to see me?

I do love a reasonable and well thought out debate.
