I still say to the anti helmet people, what is the big deal. Once I put my helmet on, I totally forget about it. And if it prevents even a little road rash on the head, why not?

Just look at the poll. All but about 15% wear helmets all or most of the time. IMO that is a good thing. Even if they only prevent road rash to the head, that is a good thing.
