Given narrowness of London roads I'd be surprised if you braked everytime you were overtaking a car stopped momentarily in the middle of the road? Good to avoid taking risks but helmets seem to be helpful for the (hopefully few) times where you do and things don't work out. Also can't really stop other people from behaving like morons - got doored when filtering past a taxi stopped right in front of a traffic light at the point where lights had just changed; turns out they weren't stopped for the light.

Do you wear a helmet when walking? The stats show that head injuries whilst walking are more prevalent (adjusted for distance) than cycling.
(I'm pro-choice, but just trying to understand the logic behind helmet use.)

Do you still ride at 30mph in the door zone?
