Remember kids... always wear a helmet. (The almighty bikeradar helmet thread)

Always wear a helmet on bike... It takes no effort and it looks cooler than having your brains splattered all over the floor. Don't understand why you wouldn't wear one (except that a good one is expensive). Most people think adults who ride bikes are a bit weird anyway, so it's not it's the helmet that makes you look odd...

Well, good luck to them and their backwards attitude. People in cars look odd. Lots of them have a wide wobbly bit in the middle around their waist - THAT looks odd.

It's all person preference. I wear one when commuting as I find the driving more aggressive and erratic. Out of the rush hours I like to not wear one as it feels much nicer riding without a helmet - wind in the hair and all that.

Whatever blows your hair back I guess
