If I were to promote the benefits of biking, I'd put a lady like this
to ride around town...

No speeches about Global Warming or Road Safety would be necessary.

Actually, she could advertise my T-shirts too...

I think I could attract ladys to cycling by having a photo of me, 8
stone in weight, sat eating a sausage butty followed by a large
chocolate bar!

And then you'd wear a t-shirt that said, "You can eat my sausage!!!"

I can already read the promotion: "Put something fun between your
legs"... (the bike)

Of course it isn't. Only MDs, helmet producers and politicians say so.

Exactly. Apart from some politicians when the press is there. "Because
of the kids", you know ...

When I looked at the PDF file, it showed some sort of screen snapshot
with large black areas and some tiny yellow icons. It was completely
meaningless. Maybe there was something my PDF viewer didn't recognize,
but nothing I saw had anything to do with helmets.

Is Sherman imagining things or just ranting?

Yo Zaumem - Victor Kan posted the link and Jym Dyer commented on it. Are
they just ranting also? Sheesh!

When opening the link, you should get an Adobe® Clip Notes® video window
that plays a commercial for "The Spin Cycle" which is a bicycle shop in
Cary, NC. In the video, the woman cyclist featured is NOT wearing a foam
bicycle hat (but the Lycra® wearing roadie hitting on her is).

The link works in Firefox 2.0.0.14.

Yes. It complains that no Windows Media Player is installed on my
system. What a surprise ...

Don't know about Victor Kan (never having read his posts) but Jym Dyer,
unlike you, doesn't have an anti-helmet agenda.

I'm running the lastest firefox available on the particular Linux
distribution I'm using, and it starts "evince" as a PDF viewer. It
didn't show anything meaningful.

Which has nothing at all to do whether a video link can be viewed on a
webpage, does it now?

I do not have an anti-helmet agenda, I have an anti-misinformation
agenda. Bicycle foam hats can provide useful bump and scrape protection.

You are the computer expert with the best system - you tell me why the
link is not working. My guess [1] is that since it asks for Windows
Media Player, it may not be Linux compatible.

It has a lot to do with you just ranting as I said (listing that as a
possibility).

This may surprise you, but I have better things to do with my time than
try to figure out what went wrong with something claiming to be a
PDF file (and my PDF viewer did not ask for Windows Media Player or an
equivalent).

It is well known that Adobe has been fiddling with new version of PDF
for (I presume) business reasons and has recently purchased
Macromedia, and it wouldn't be surprising if working towards
integrating these two products is part of the reason for the frequent
revisions. Frankly, I'm not interested. It's merely a business
thing.

Oh please yourself. WTF does my alleged agenda have to do with someone
not being able to view a video clip on a posted link? That is sub Mikey
V. logic. Sheesh!

So despite all the properly performed population studies revealing NO
benefit to h*lm*t use in reducing severe head injuries and deaths with
increased bicycle foam hat use, you still imagine that lids have magical
protective properties?

Adobe® Clip Notes® as I posted above?

So far it has worked well on Zaumen.

When you use terms like "foam hats", your agenda is pretty damn obvious.

"Lids", "magical protective properties" (that I never mentioned)? Yep,
saying you have an agenda is pretty damn accurate. If you don't want
to give that impression, you should cut out the loaded language.

Sherman, you are a complete and utter idiot - its the only term that
describes what one would assume from your posts.
