Imagine you say football/soccer sucks and your counter is rugby, a boring, lame ass sport. Everyone has to tell you how tough the players are to justify watching something so boring.

Rugby is what you get when you combine those two sports and get rid of everything that sucks.

I didn’t wear a helmet until I was an adult ( I wear mine every ride). Somehow, most of Europe ride all over the place, mostly helmetless, there’s no epidemic of head injuries over there that I’m aware of. I’m just happy to see a kid on a bike instead of staring at an electronic device somewhere.

RGMG that we've had the best three days of the year weather wise this week and I've spent a grand total of 90 seconds outside. Haven't been able to enjoy it whatsoever.

Cycling helmets are the best! You can be sitting on a Patio downtown and hurl peanuts at them and they think its just regular road debris!
They look around bewildered while you sip your beer!

Why do you have to pass backwards though? That seems counterproductive.

Are you hurling peanuts because they’re too spicy to eat?

Naw, I figure if you're a cyclist you're probably allergic and I like Roulette.

Why not pass in whatever direction they want? I think this would help the game tremendously.

Yes, wearing a helmet is safer than not wearing one. But we don’t need to exaggerate the danger of riding a bike. It’s a very safe activity, with or without a helmet.

Technically you can pass forwards by kicking. It makes gaining ground more challenging, which is more fun in my opinion.

My friend got a terrible concussion from wiping out on his bike about 30 feet from his house. If it weren't for the helmet he'd be dead.

So what's the argument for not wearing a helmet? Like how do you finish the sentence:
Wearing a helmet while biking is much safer, but I don't wear one because....?
Like what could really be said there that overrides the safety factor?
