Some notes on helmets and bicycling and public health

Description

I get into a lot of conversations with people about helmets and bicycling and safety and public health, by virtue of my position on the staff of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition and my constant coming and going by bicycle in San Francisco. People are surprised, often almost offended, that I don't wear a helmet when I ride my bike — everyone knows how dangerous it is to ride a bike, and I'm not only imperiling myself but setting a bad example to other cyclists when I ride bareheaded.
