I'm pretty certain that if any of these clowns clicked around the internet, maybe searched with the safe search off, or went directly to some of the 'gore' sites to have a look at some images, they might change their mind.

But, the vast majority of guys on cruisers don't wear helmets, would rather sport that awesome bandana or some sort of skull cap. Regardless, it's pretty easy to split open your head doing 15mph: telephone poles don't care what speed you're going.
