More importantly we need public safety campaigns so cyclists will not run red lights & stop signs, ride the wrong way, fail to yield, ride on the sidewalk. These all have more potential for preventing the wreck in the first place. Not having the wreck prevents more than head injury, while head injury is the only thing helmets can prevent.

I think this thread has been thoroughly hijacked now!
