Hi Helen, I don't think that cycling can be considered dangerous, even in the USA. Although more risky than in the UK and the Netherlands, that risk is still ...
While I certainly can't quantify this, my recollection from visits to the Netherlands is that a great amount of the cycling there is low speed, utility...
Whether in the US or some other country, certain things remain constant: 1. In the absence of a requirement, wearing a helmet is a personal choice. 2. That...
Unfortunately whole population data just doesn't show helmets having any positive effects on serious head injuries in cycling. So relying on a helmet to...
Patrick, if I recall correctly, there isn't a single helmet manufacturer who designs or certifies their bicycle helmets as suitable for protection against...
All helmets and protective equipment are useless and a complete waste of time. - IF you never have accidents. Wearing - or not wearing anything (except perhaps...
Hi Patrick, I do like your point about where to draw the line, and I respect your position. I certainly agree with you on being anti-compulsion, I think ...
That is of course, assuming that helmets actually do any protecting. "Might reduce the severity" isn't good enough when the efficacy of helmets is so much in...

Hello everyone, I am writing to update you on two programs related to the inline instruction industry. The Free Skate Lesson program was started four years ago...
I'm writing to hear what you all think about the concept of non-reversing skate wheels. When first approached by inventor Bruce Honacker, I had concerns about ...
Couldn't such skates change skating entirely? You would no longer have to push out to the side. Just push back, same as walking, then glide forward on the...
... Hey, Stephen, great idea! That's exactly classic style cross-country skiing. You've invented a new sport! And, of course, the skate style of cross-country...
... Except that you just wouldn't be able to get a whole lot of speed that way - I don't see it being much fun at all. Think classic x-country ski vs. skate...
Actually I love classic XC Ski, at this point probably more than skating. But Patrick, even if you're right that we wouldn't get a lot of speed (and I'm not...
