in a car pulled up next to me shouting and gesturing at my Rambouillet until I

I live in a town in northern Vt where most of the roads are dirt and I
enjoy riding them more than I do broken pavement. I suppose the much
lighter traffic on the back roads is part of the joy, but unless you
have an urge to go as fast as you can, dirt roads are great for
riding. The comment

At the risk of starting a long thread on this topic, I will beg to differ.
Even with a shell covering the foam, I can't believe that 30-year-old styrofoam
would not be so brittle that it would fail to properly compress during an
accident.
As with many topics on this list, there are many

That said, I actually suspect that most anyone wearing a Skid Lid
isn't really doing it for protection. It's more of a fashion statement
or just a statement statement. They get that it's not much safer than
no helmet at all (if you believe helmets are inherently good, which I
do). You

I owned a skid lid, and an early Giro that was nylon mesh over
styrofoam. I also smoked cigarettes, marijuana, and a pipe in
yesteryear, but the opportunity to know better is much greater today.
I don't do leaches when I have a fever either.

I have a Nitto Mark's rack set up on the rear of my bike and would like to

riding in. The foot trails that line the river behind our cabin are
layered with pine needles
Makes sense to me. Screw the helmet all together. From now on, I'm
going to focus on not getting hit by a car or crashing instead.
Probably sell my seat belts and airbags, too, and focus on not getting
in an accident in my car. If that works, I'm thinking... sell the
smoke detectors. Useless if
