Do you wear a helmet while driving a car? Head injuries are a top cause of death in vehicle accidents something that helmets would significantly reduce.

The truth is that you never even considered wearing a helmet while drivi g because driving is an ordinary activity that doesn't seem to require special equipment. In places where cycling is an ordinary activity people feel the same.

It's not about statistics or the actual effectiveness of safety equipment. If it were you would start wearing a driving helmet tomorrow.

Your comment seems to presuppose that I am advocating for helmet-wearing, when I have done no such thing.
