I'm sure there are studies that show people are safer without seat belts or air bags. 

I just wish someone would start marketing a helmet that looks normal - not like I'm part of the Tour de France.

I've got a commuter bike, so why can't I find a commuter helmet?

I know they make hats for skiers that look like regular beanies or whatever, but the fibres go stiff when they're compressed. So the hat basically turns into a helmet when your head hits the snow. I wonder if they can make helmets like that.

Other than that, you're stuck with either some weird spacey looking thing or a helmet that makes you look like a wannabe BMXer.

The same day you asked if you could borrow my roadie.

I wonder how an equestrian helmet would work on a bike.  Those helmets look sharp, as in Ralph Lauren Polo!

Just say eff it & do a full on viking helmet. Because when you bike in Jax, you feel like you're going into battle anyway.

Considering that I work as a planning consultant, that's a helmet I could wear all day!
