Despite seat belts and air bags, of course. Yet nobody nags at motorists 
to wear helmets.

In fact, I'll bet that when driving to or from the start of a ride, all 
the helmet wearing cyclists in this group leave their helmets somewhere 
in the car instead of wearing them. Because they're inside the car, 
where far more brain injuries occur, they refuse to take advantage of 
the added protection they so avidly proclaim!

Go figure!
