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.

Wrong, as usual.

These all contradict Frank, but that isn't the point of this message.
The point of this message is to point out, once again, your unsubstantiated conclusions rooted in willful ignorance.
