I have noticed that helmets, though an integral part of my biking experience, are often excluded from the posts/discussions on this blog. Yesterday, in order to get my daily adrenaline fix, I cruised up Downing from Speer to 12th instead of my normal Williams route home through Capitol Hill/Congress park. A dude flew past me - no helmet, iPod and gigantic calves. I was actually on my way home from Social Psychology (I'm studying to be a clinical psychologist) and this got me thinking.
Why do some of us wear helmets? Why do some of us not wear helmets? Why do some of us wear helmets some of the time? Why do some parents force/encourage/coerce their kids into wearing helmets but then go without themselves? Why does it seem like helmets are on the brink of "cool" especially in snowboarding and such. I am curious to hear readers responses to these questions.
NO, I won't try and analyze you but YES, I am inquisitive and hopeful that folks will holler their thoughts on this one.
