I liked to read Cryptonomicon :) As a biker i understand the difficult choices. A fluo vest, which is ugly as hell, but it makes you more visible. So i have fluo all over my bike, and good lights! But the helmet ... at least i have one :) I looked at skate-helmets once, because they seemed to be cooler (matte black!) but not really. Fortunately i now only commute around rural area of antwerp, which is not too hazardous. But that is no excuse actually. Ha! I liked to read Cryptonomicon :)

Then again, each to his own brain :) @pascal: yes, but well, would you compare biking around there with biking around in Brussels ?

I'm disappointed! A helmet is not compatible with my forgetfulness either. Considering I forget my <em>bike</em> half the time, I think there's a fair chance I'll forget a helmet even more.

Sometimes talking on their mobile phones with one kid in front and one the back side of the bike! Oh and they drive these fabulous traditional bikes like these http://www.omafietsonline.nl/N_frame.html?http://www.omafietsonline.nl/Opafiets-Bsp--N_art_17.html This one is mine now: http://www.bsp-fietsen.nl/index.php?pageID=3&item=19 No one in the Netherlands wears helmets… and yet everybody is biking around in cities.

And since a gentleman (who, me? I do a good impersonation!) doesn't go anywhere without his hat, I will have to continue to risk brain damage. Daily. Life is tough.
