What is so uncool about wearing a helmet?

 

This morning i passed a guy, pip exposed, cruising with a group all wearing their lids. Not even peer pressure can get some people to wear that atrocious bit of plastic that happens to be the only thing between your brain and the tarmac.

 

Can anyone explain this to me? We spend thousands on upgrades and bibs and gloves but a few hundred bucks to keep you alive is out of the question, I'm confused.

where?

[AndreZA]

He has nothing to protect. Why put a R1000 alarm system in your R1.75 car?

only thing between your his brain and the tarmac.

We'd all think/hope there brains in there!

I'm confused.

Because you we do have brains?Agteros2008-10-14 00:38:54

A helmet is extra weight

 

Then when he gets hurt and killed ,,,,,,,,,,,  everyone bays for the blood of the motorist.........

 

Sometimes we are our own WORST enemy

Just outside Stellenbosch.

 

Ja, I'm sure he's a damn idiot. The wife probably wouldn't let him start his life long dream of becoming a fire eater so he started cycling, now I've got to endanger everyone on the road just to stay away from him.

Maybe he just forgot his helmet and decided to take a chance today?

$1 helmet for a $1 brain

Its a disease... more commonly known as " Moroniosis". And there is no cure unfortunatly.

So... if you forget your shoes... Do you still go ride in your flip flops or trainers that you drove in?

I think not.

Maybe he comes from a long line if idiots. He's mother and father were idiots aswell.

Well they obviously forgot to wear a 'helmet' as well

I had a feeling this post would go downhill but this I never expected

 

And what about those team caps some peeps wear under their lids, some guys just go without the helmet. Those caps must be super strong, and much lighter than a helmet. That sounds like the answer to Mr Stupid's dilemma

Perhaps, like millions around the world, he simply chooses not to wear a helmet.  Or perhaps he knows that his chance of falling are extremely low, his chances of hitting his head are a fraction of that (and even lower because he is not wearing a helmet) and should all these eventualities come to pass, the chances of his helmet providing adequate protection is a fraction of that fraction.
