Alan, if you go back into my archives and read a bit more from my poeivrus posts, you will see that I rarely wear a helmet for regular urban riding (though I always do when racing, training fast, mtb riding or riding in the exurbs). I have been researching bicycle safety for more than 11 years and I have come to the conclusion that riding a bicycle in an urban environment is safer than driving a car if you follow the rules of the road and learn a few basic conflict areas in which to be careful. You will also see that I typically ride in vintage clothing, including suits and ties or normal casual wear. My blog has also dealt with the statistics of helmet use. I am not anti-helmet, but I agree that pushing helmets, hi-vis yellow, and lycra severely limits the appeal of riding a bicycle for most people. If people think they have to put on special socks to bike to the custard stand, they will drive. I think that philosophy is already prevalent in the majority of the current Bike Fed staff. I am big into cyclechic movement. I have many friends in Copenhagen and view their philosophies as the best strategy to get more people riding. This blog will continue to reflect those beliefs. I hope you keep reading and perhaps share some things I write that you like on your blog roll.Cheers
