Riding Chicago's lakefront trail brings sweeping vistas, serene parks, harbors, beaches, and sometimes the truly bizarre. I am a proponent of bike helmets and bike safety in general. I know that a lot of people think that if bike helmet laws were relaxed, more people would ride - some anti-helmetists even try to further detract from bike helmet laws with the somewhat dubious claim that the increased deaths of cyclists (!!!!) would be offset (from a public health perspective) by the decreased chance of heart disease and obesity and whatnot from more people riding. In my opinion, that is a serious wtf right there.
Anyway, on the trail today I saw someone on a Very Nice
Specialized Roubaix wearing an orange vest and helmet. Not just any helmet, mind you - a MOTOCROSS helmet.
he basically looked like this:
I'll never shit on someone for wearing a helmet. this guy is awesome.
