I have this friend who believes that wearing a bicycle helmet is actually MORE dangerous than not wearing one. She believes that in a crash the helmet can cause the back of your neck to snap and even break. Is this true? Is actually wearing a bicycle helmet more dangerous than not wearing one

Answer
I have more than one friend whose life was saved due to wearing a helmet. Not wearing a helmet is just stupid. You've got to protect your brain... first and foremost.

Maybe her helmet doesn't fit her properly.

BTW - I don't know of anyone breaking their neck from a helmet, but plenty of people who were glad they were wearing one when they crashed.

How many people out there wear a Helmet?

While riding there bicycle. I 'm an older guy and I was thinking of buying a bike to save money on gas and get some exercise. But the wife says she wants me to wear a helmet. Frankly I think the helmets look pretty stupid. What's your opinion?

Answer
I don't wear one...
