@charlie You think a helmet is going to protect you from a car? Is it a magical device? No.

Protection in what way? Slammed up against a windshield? Probably not... But automobiles are far from the only threat to cyclist out there.

Just as common, if not more so, are the typical spills that result from pot holes, sudden maneuvers, and other losses of control. These riders stand a good chance of hitting the pavement. That's where your helmet protection is, and that will mean the difference between a concussion and unconsciousness.

I'm not a CaBi customer (I have my own rides) so I can't say what, if any, release CaBi has for its riders, who should all be aware of the risks of going unhelmeted. I don't this making it seem normal is a service at all.
