I never ask this, but please rate and such to spread the word. Since leaving Missouri (where helmets are required by law), I have been appalled at the number of riders I see without proper gear. I would say at least 80% of riders I've seen here in the Chicago area do not have helmets, or any protective gear for that matter. What continues to surprise me is how many of these guys think they actually look good when they ride in just a t-shirt and jeans. Or no shirt. Or a helmet, with no shirt, and shorts. Why bother with the helmet? ANYway, I'm truly hoping this video convinces some of these squids to wear protective gear. If it helps save even one life, I'd be elated. Iroquois had a video where he mentioned guys who just want to "look cool" on their bikes. I think these guys fall largely in the same category.. Remember: Gear doesn't make you a nerd. It'll save your life, your skin, AND get you that girl's number. ;-)
