We have a helmet/no helmet discussion on RocBike. Phew! I thought we were immune from the conversation that plagues ... er ... informs every other bike blog in the universe. (Not to mention that if I know Mr. Durand, he was wearing a helmet while taking those photos.) It’s finally happened! We have a helmet/no helmet discussion on RocBike. Phew!

Wish I could be in ROC glow-cruising with y'all. Alas, I am in Bristol, and my DLG hasn't arrived because fedex screwed up.
