I did about ten years of club cycling and never wore a helmet. It still feels alien to me but traffics a heck of a lot worse and more aggressive and my then girlfriend cried about me going out without one, I still have a sneaky cycle early in the morning without one which many would say is irresponsible but I never get used to the feel. Hope you get better soon and thanks for the share.
Do you think if you'd not been wearing a helmet you might have cycled more cautiously and avoided the accident?
I ride without a helmet and have never hit my head on the kerb, so based on your and my experience wearing a helmet seems very dangerous.
