I've cycled both Australia and UK and I would say I cycle the same with and without helmet. In Australia I would be really nervous cycling without because there is such a strong culture to wearing and the enforcement of the law. In the

I think I just take a different view than you, who writes the country's rules, the people in power, who has the power, the people with money / property to protect, I think we are both describing the same loop just diverge on where

The title really rankles me -it was a brilliant eclipse and it was an eclipse only viewable in America, I understand this completely but it still rankles possibly irrationally. I am not opposed to calling things American when, like I am not

That's a bit out of order. You clearly have a belief system which is risk adverse and that's fine but i find it a little judgemental on other people's family lives to be saying what's reasonable and not reasonable to do
