Another [tongue in cheek] helmet post
Hello all,
I've heard of research that come to the conclusion that wearing a helmet actually increases your chances of getting injured. "Why's that?" you ask. Well, it turns out that wearing a helmet actually makes people feel falsely secure. And these people take more risks. And since they take more risks, they're more likely to get a cycling injury.

"Why's that?" you ask. How's that? It's called "Risk compensation" and there is a wealth of information about it upon any nearby Internet. -- Dave Larrington - http://www.legslarry.beerdrinkers.co.uk/ We had that Maurits C. Escher in to do some building work once. I haven't been able to leave the house since.
