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

always wear a helmet. even on a quick ride just to the shops. I really don't care if its uncool or whatever. The argument is simple: I never heard that anyone had a disadvantage from wearing one but I heard of many cases where people might have been dead or badly injured if they would not have worn one. Same goes for front brakes. I can ride brakeless but why take the risk? And of course its not just about me. Wife, family, friends...

My had two friends break their jaws because they were wearing a helmet from minor crashes, without one they would have had a couple of scrapesand walked away feeling sorry for themselves.
