I understand his point about not wearing a helmet, but I don't like it. I mean...why can't we just set a style that says a helmet would look GREAT with a suit? At least, that's how I'd do it if my commute wasn't 20+ miles necessitating 'fitness' type clothing. When I lived 1.5 miles from work, I often road my mixte wearing a dress and a helmet. Let's make THAT cool!

Or maybe that's step two...after we get everyone on bikes first?

I do question his statistics though...that biking is safer than driving. I'd like to know how those numbers were derived. If less than 1% of the population bikes to work yet a much higher % drives - how can you accurately compare accident rates? If bikes to cars were closer to 50% each - which would be safer then?
