Don't recall ever saying that, but yes I think cyclists /in general/ are

have known personally all seem to think the same, as they all wear lids,
too. And then, of course, there are the literally thousands I've seen on
trails and roads, and the vast majority apparently agree, as well. It's
quite unusual to see a "real cyclist" around here riding lidless. Sorry.


One million lemmings can't be wrong eh? Many professional sports people
have curious rituals that they have to perform to give them luck. They
are convinced they work but I doubt any of us would give them much credence.

I was and still am a hobby cyclist (except for a brief period working
as a messenger) but for sure the helmet was a big part of my
demonstrating to myself and the cycling community that I was
"serious."
