Most of the prople that I've talked to resist wearing helmets beacuse of
image, ego, or simply "I love the feeling of the wind in my hair". You mention
the neck - IS there an increased risk to the neck from wearing a helmet? I've
heard a hint of this but I would be interested to know if it is considered a
proven fact, or even a strong tendency.
