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

this is pretty much why I wear a helmet. all the debate about their effectiveness aside, my family would be devastated if i was injured/killed and not wearing one.

(also i'm used to it because at home they're compulsory).

Me too, I look a complete cock in my mine, but I'd rather look like a cock for the 20 miles I ride a day and be able to take my helmet off than have a potential lifetime of wearing adult nappies and being spoonfed.

I'm not saying a helmet is a magic forcefield, but I just don't fancy spending the final seconds of life wondering if a helmet would of saved me and hoping my 7 year old daughter doesn't grow up and marry a complete arsehole..................
