Yes. an interesting piece, but I don't think the statistics they quote on 
helmet safety are particularly convincing.  I have been wearing a helmet 
for .... well, since the hairnet and skid lid were popular, but I suspect 
their advantage is overrated, as is the inconvenience.  I have, however 
been on two rides, on dirt roads, without my helmet this spring and really 
enjoyed the breeze on my head.
