The crash Mark experienced can hardly be said to have been the result of
"risk compensation." It fits better into the /bad shit happens

Those gulls have been busy on your helmet, Leah! Grin.
Great helmet and great color and great non-racer, everyday look!
I shifted to wearing red. It is not the utility worker/bike racer flourescent,
but the human eye ALWAYS sees it. I first noticed this with the red winged
blackbird. I could te

Well, that's true, but if you go down and slide on the side of your head

Edwin,
You have perfectly presented logic, stats, comparisons, and whimsy to cover all
the bases of Helmet use IMHO. Free will allows us each to make make the best
individual choice for “ourselves” based on are willingness to accept the odds
and consequences.
Thank you all for remaining civil

I agree that was a good presentation. Although of course there are no stats
available on "the odds" or "the consequences." Which I believe was one of
Edwin's points.

this topic on iBoB. Nice to give people the space to
Leah, you should point The Clem Rider to any one of Danny MacAskill's

helmet, so if The Clem Rider wants to be REALLY cool like Danny, he should

I am pretty sure that I pay more attention to my riding when riding fixed,
and while riding sans helmet. Can't say I feel out of place, though.
Danny MacAskill is pretty amazing, but I wonder how many trial (heh heh)
runs and editing led up to that very fun video. Did he really do that hay

Dear friends,
This is a fascinatingly humble and civil thread! ❤️
Two summers ago I decided to stop wearing a helmet after I realized that
mine was about 10 years old and I'd been told that they should be replaced
every 3 years. My B.S.-o'meter went off and since then I've been working on

Given that there’s so much concern out there about whether motorists notice
cyclists at all, it’s nice to see that some drivers (see item #5) pay so much
attention that they discern whether we’re wearing a helmet and adjust passing
distances accordingly. I wish that was the case, but I don’t thi

just made up). Riding down a trail, I am always scanning ahead, scouting my

do notice branches sticking out that effect my line and adjust
All of the below, but principally because I don't like doing something when
I see no good reason for it -- per my earlier posts. I often wonder if
there *are* good reasons, but I haven't seen them yet. I'm still weighing

I don’t think anyone here believes a helmet offers a magical level of
protection in a serious crash. But as I and others have observed in this
thread, a helmet absolutely can keep your face off the blacktop. As I went

I'll be sure to choose a modern helmet over a hairnet when I whack myself
over the head with an Indian club.

Did it get nixed for some reason or another?
