Rode all day without a helmet yesterday, as I usually slap one on every day. It was mostly fine and I think I was slightly more careful, but I'm a fairly conscientious road user on my bike anyway. Only hairy moment was slamming on the rear brake when someone decided to indicate late and turn left, but it was all fine. Reactions kicked it and it was all very automatic.
Think I can occasionally place myself poorly on the road or in traffic because I have the protection of a helmet, but one day's riding without highlighted those areas that need improvement.
