If you read the ny times article it touches on these kind of personal stories. The issue is that without taking away the stigma of helmet use and cyclists as being "the other" we will never get where Europe is. I fell going 35mph and a helmet probably saved me from more harm than I got but going down the side of a mountain is not riding to the grocery store. Cyclists need to reach a critical mass where drivers and laws that favor a car based society can make may for a bike friendly environment. Dropping the "wear a helmet or die" mantra is part of this push as I see it. On Sep 30, 2012 9:56 PM, "Jim Cloud" <cloud...@aol.com> wrote:
