Beareheaded cycling has been the norm for over 150 years. Bareheaded walking a little longer. You and other helmet zealots are the ones telling bareheaded cyclists to wear a helmet. You describe the case for wearing a helmet for cycling that's different from the case for wearing a helmet for walking. Or perhaps you want us to name one reason to not wear a helmet for walking. Then describe the case for mandating that's different from mandating helmets for motorists and pedestrians. You'll be the first if you can. -- Avery Burdett Ottawa, Ontario
