Michael wrote: I'm willing to bet I'd either be dead or drooling on myself if I didn't have that helmet on. And I'm willing to bet you wouldn't. Why? Because the absolutely _tremendous_ rise in bike helmet use hasn't caused a significant change in serious head injuries per cyclist. In fact, if anything, there are more head injuries per cyclist than before. If all these helmets are really doing what you believe, the benefits should be detectable. There's been an increase in red-light running and other reckless behavior, plus a huge increase in the average vehicle size, all of which make cycling more dangerous than before. With a large vehicle, you are far more likely to have you head hit in primary impact then when the vehicle is small enough that you can see over it. And the larger size cuts your sight lines considerably. And that's been going on during the same time period that helmet use increased. Much more likely, IMO: all these helmets are producing stories that go like this: "Wow, dude, my helmet touched the ground!!! It must have saved my life!!!" This is typical Krygowksi bull**** - putting words in people's mouths. In fact, I've never seen him reply to a post in which someone reported an incident where a helmet might have helped without discounting the helmet. Not *one* incident whatsoever. -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |

Interesting conjecture. But I see you've posted no evidence to support it - as usual. Now's the time for you to post some evidence of both the increase in red light running, and the increased cycling danger. I think what would suffice for the latter would be data showing an increase in serious injuries to parts of the body other than the head, significantly greater than the increase in serious head injuries. So, Bill: Got data? -- --------------------+ Frank Krygowski [To reply, remove rodent and vegetable dot com, replace with cc.ysu dot edu] |

On Sat, 06 Nov 2004 19:41:17 -0500, Frank Krygowski claims: [Ken NY:] Sorry, Sir, but I did not send it off into a political thread, I just followed it, due to my simplistic thinking, I guess. We commoners are like that. [fk:] Bull****, Ken. This thread was about a helmet bill in Canada. You most certainly did send it off into a political thread. Certainly, you can't be _ignorant_ of that fact! [Ken NY:] Well, I was refering to something a gentleman wrote in another thread: That was obvious. You made a fool of yourself by bringing that topic unbidden into _this_ thread, then pretending you didn't. If you're not capable of keeping your conversations straight, you should either take notes or stop posting. BTW, I note the propensity of hard-ass right wingers to save all their forgiveness for themselves. What ever happened to personal responsibility? What ever happened to owning up to ones' mistakes? Are those are only for other folks? Now perhaps you should return to the topic of the thread - or better, some simpler bike-related topic. The simpler the topic, the less trouble you'll have. -- --------------------+ Frank Krygowski [To reply, remove rodent and vegetable dot com, replace with cc.ysu dot edu] |

....stuff deleted
There's been an increase in red-light running and other reckless behavior, plus a huge increase in the average vehicle size, all of which make cycling more dangerous than before. Now's the time for you to post some evidence of both the increase in red light running, and the increased cycling danger. ....more deleted Frank, You very well know that there is little, if any, such data available. Having driven in the 60's, however, I can definitely state that once the majority of drivers attempted to stop for yellow lights, and now the majority accellerate to enter the intersection before the light changes from yellow to red. Watch intersections and count the number of folks lock up their brakes to stop in time and the number will be zero. This practice was not only common when I started driving, it was pretty much the norm and you could observe it several times a day. The overall affect of this on cycling safety is unclear, however. My belief is that drivers today are much less tolerent, less capable, and overall, less aware than those of today. This is, IMO, that the driver today is severely overloaded by the amount of electronic equipment that claims their attention. Rick |

See http://www.google.com/groups?selm=355ca440.54640388%40news.gmd.de&output =gplain where Wolfgang Strobl said precisely that - that he used the x-no-archive flag. I don't see why he'd lie about it given that he was explaining to someone why a search of DejaNews (before Google bought it) wouldn't work, and seemed to be trying to help that person out. Bill, I'm continually astounded that you don't embarrass yourself to silence. What you should be embarassed by, Krygowski, is your bald-faced lies and baseless statements like the above when you really don't have the facts and are too inept to check for yourself. All you had to do was to search messages in rec.bicycles.soc whose author is Strobl and with the phrase x-no-archive. It took a couple of minutes and is not particularly difficult. But, your behavior is typical of you, and that is precisely why I have no respect for you - it is not an error on your part given how often you do this sort of thing. Oh, and one other thing - I posted it with the caveat "if I remembered correctly." It meant what it said. Your statement about "inventing things" is simply character assassination. You'd fit quite well in Bush's election campaign - those *******s have the same ethics you do. -- My real name backwards: nemuaZ lliB |
