I thank all of you who provided graphic descriptions of what lies ahead for me if I persist in my folly. I may not take your good advice but at least now I wake up in the night screaming. Fortunately, I have a very thick skull, as you can see, so at least I have that protection. In addition, I am, unlike those who wrote, not a hot-shot rider, and I ride at considerably less than 25 miles per hr, nowhere near cypress stumps, and certainly without toe clips. My style might be closer to walking on wheels, and I do it in a semi- rural environment, where the only hazard is a long steep hill and, unfortunately, frequent logging trucks which barrel through town. But if one of those eighteen wheels hits, I don't think a helmet will help. I do appreciate your concern. I just hope you don't have the opportunity to say I told you so.
