Certain family members and myself have reached an agreement.
I will wear a helmet, and if I am killed while riding, they will put upon my tombstone:
AT LEAST HE WAS WEARING A HELMET.
My hopes are it will make them feel better.
Most of the time I would wear one regardless, but dang, it ought to be my choice.
Here in Maryland it is mandatory for bikers to wear a helmet, but ILLEGAL for a cage driver to wear one.
Somehow what protects me, won't protect them.
