"I’ll bet that 100 years from now, the word “the” will be banned as racist/sexist/homophobe/beardedsavageophobe/"

I'll bet you won't have to wait that long, what with the obvious "HE" taking up fully two thirds of the letters in "tHE."

But we can't go the other way with "tHER' either. And "thIT" has implied violence in "HIT."

I guess this points to an article free world for true gender neutrality.

No, invent your own helmet.

There are probably laws against that too.

In Asia, women drive around on scooters wearing those silly surgical masks...which only work to prevent you (the mask wearer) from contaminating others.

That needs to be outlawed. There are some really hot babes there, but it’s impossible to tell, if they’re behind a mask.

I would rather die from head injuries in a bicycle accident (life time odd 1:5000)than look like a total dweeb wearing one.

Oh and BTW ...

According to the U.S. National Weather Service, the odds of being struck by lightning -- in your lifetime -- are 1 in 5,000.

And I’m not going to go around with a lightning rod up my rear end either

Rode my bicycle from the age of 6 until I was 17 or 18. Rode it every day. I have never worn a helmet. I believe that the only thing gayer than wearing a bike helmet is an Obama first pitch.

One can either ride a bike confidently and competently or one should not be on a bike.

i don't think anybody should be forced to wear a helmet, but i don't think insurance companies should have to pay medical bills for head injuries of those not wearing one either...

Not playing golf can help improve your odds.

Plenty of things come to mind.

Shallow
Petty
Narcissistic
Selfish
Stupid
Dangerous

And more...

Talk about dying or getting brain damage for fashion. There is a war on women, and it is waged by this Auzzie idiot.

I rode a motorcycle for years, and you would never, never catch me riding without my helmet, leathers, and gloves. I crashed it once, and my helmet helped a lot by scraping along between the ground and my face.

Is this Free Republic? Or have I somehow stumbled onto DU?

FWIW, I always wore a helmet when riding a motorcycle. But a bicycle? Not saying it’s not smart to do so, but it’s beyond the proper purview of the State.
