I'm going to give that a listen mate. I always wear a helmet on the commute just due to the speed I'm going at, if I catch an unexpected pot hole etc I'm likely to land on my bonce.

But after my most recent ped strike I've invested in a pair of these bad boys: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/mobile/troy-lee-designs-bp-7605-short/rp-prod59933

I landed right on my hip, black and blue for two weeks, these should save me a bit. I haven't had a chance to "test them out" yet but I'm two weeks over due and I've been faced with some pretty intense walls recently.

If you regularly hit pot holes and peds then perhaps defaulting to head protection rather than considering how you ride may be the wrong choice...

Nah that was the only and last pothole I've hit, but it was a bit of a shocker how I landed.

Peds on the other hand, err.......

Only been in one incident with a motorist, he basically tried to initiate a parallel park on me when I was riding in the gutter. It was quite a lol crash.
