Bicycling has never been a major source of serious traumatic brain
injury (TBI). On a nationwide basis, bicycling's contribution to TBI
counts is low enough to be off most "causes" charts. Bicycling causes
fewer then 1% of U.S. TBI deaths, far fewer than pedestrian travel, and
far fewer on a "per mile" basis. And historic data over the years shows
quite clearly that bicycle helmets are not preventing either fatalities
or concussions.

 Impossible to document that.

Hah! Another ignorant statment from Mr. Tricycle Rider!

Data on request - but it's been posted or linked countless times.

   I suspect that in the USA, the vast majority of bicyclists wear
helmets.

As usual, you're wrong. But then, you belong to a group that claims that Trump won the vast majority the popular vote!
The problem may be ignorance of the definition of "vast." Look it up.
(I know. You won't trust any definition, because dictionaries may be published by the evil left wing.)

I don't know why that bothers Krygowski so much. It seems to
me that wearing one does no harm.

:-)  Says the man who has told us he never wears a helmet! He's so obsessed with me that he'll even argue against his own position to dispute me. I think he needs psychological therapy - but he'd be too afraid to talk to a therapist.
