how 
 many of you wear helmets..ALL THE TIME.  I just don't see why you wouldn't.  
 I realize that "back in the day" (meaning before I was born--almost 17 years 
 ago) fewer people wore helmets than they do today.  So, please just tell me, 
 do you wear a helmet all the time.  Do you ever find yourself not wearing 
one 
 when you are just riding around a field or something?  I have to say, this 
is 
 just like not wearing your  seatbelt when you are just "running around town".

Helmet use is rather new to our sport (for those of us who've been distance 
riding for multiple decades) but has become VERY common, and yes, many of us 
wear them ALL the time now that we have started.  Just like seatbelts--once 
you get into the habit, you start to feel strange if you don't...
