Bicycling is a very dear subject to me, as I log over 5,000 miles/year. I can not even fathom biking without a helmet. Obviously, there is never a guarantee, but I'd prefer to take my chances with one than without.

In recent months, I've had three bike firends end up in the hospital with serious bike injuries....two were head. One of them had no helmet and has survived, but not sure what the long term outcome will be. The other friend had his helmet and is rcovering well, especially when the doctors thought he'd not make it.

Scary stuff this biking. Be safe>>>>>WEAR a helmet!!!
