Actually in this case it is what happens when evidence is used and then discredited by other evidence.
The other evidence being "I believe"
I have not seen the evidence on here against helmets discredited by objective evidence.

Make your own decision if you want to wear a helmet or not, here are the stats, total deaths, how many were and how many were not wearing a helmet
My new Specialized helmet has no mesh and a bit at the front would be nice, wasps are plentiful round here.As does my Lidl / Aldi Bike Mate one. I think the Bell helmets have that mesh as well.

I shall try that.Could you glue some old net curtain inside?
I shall try that.
just make sure the glue doesn't dissolve the polystyrene. Or melt and stick your helmet to your head, with disastrous consequences for your love life.I shall try that.
It will bring a a new dimension to hat hair.Just don't blame me if it is uncomfortable or if you fail to allow enough time for the glue to dry

At least there's somewhere to put me gloves.I'm thankful for the padding at the front
