No, it is not.  I don't know what the numbers are.  I =suspect= that in 
proportion to their use, there are more head injuries from bicycles than 
automobiles.  I do know that a head injury is expensive to treat.  I do know 
that wearing a helmet while riding a bicycle is prudent.  Vern, you're 
welcome to do as you please.  If you local municipality is writing you 
tickets for it, you have my sympathy.

He's obviously much smarter than I am.
