But we saw a few people who obviously identified as "cyclists." Even if
they were riding at 8 mph and had multi-layer belly bulges, they were
decked out in skintight lycra and had a useless but fashionable plastic
hat on their head. If you're a "cyclist" it's fashionable to dress that
way, so that's what those "cyclists" did.

Useless plastic hat is just your opinion Frank. LOL VBEG ;)

However helmets do have many uses. I like mine because I find that a helmet mounted mirror is easier to use than one on my eyeglasses when I wear ski goggles over my glasses. Also, when taking an image that you want your bicycle to be in and there's no hand tree or fence post to lean t he bike against, the helmet is excellent as a support when placed on the ground and the pedal resting against the top of the helmet.

I'll wear my helmet thank you very much and you can ride without one. After all it's up to the individual bicyclist to choose what they want.

I still don't get why you feel the need to ridicule everyone who chooses to utilize something you don't.
