In the Netherlands they official helmet wearing statistic is 0% and 5% for children yet they have the best safety stats on the planet. Branding a safe activity like cycling as dangerous sends people into car showrooms in a flash. like other religious symbols the bicycle helmet is also worn because of a belief that this polystyrene shell will protect the wearer from percieved inherant dangers involved in cycling, or even death. Quoting thou shall not kill from the bible, when the rest of the book is a cover to cover bloodbath. Such is the anatomy of propaganda. Science and god will never go for a bike ride together. With helmet promotion the number of cyclists fell sharply and drastically as a result. ”It is common sense to wear a helmet!” Common sense, in a modern society, is embracing the facts and learning about all aspects of the subject before forming an opinion. copenhagenize/2008/07/cycle-helmets-and-other-religious.html
