id wear a helmet more if they wernt so bloody uncomfortable. i have a large head and big hair that doesnt fit in any standard hats let alone helmets. everything ive tried has been wrong.
also theyre either too hot or too cold. all the air vents just directs the cold air into specific points to make it feel more cold. if i wear a cap underneith its too hot. the helmet styles with few vents are just too hot.
also im lazy. when i lock my bike up i already have to carry my shoes, saddlebag, pump, lights, computer, i can do without more things to remember not to forget. also while its bad excuse, i cant think of time where ive ever been in a dangerous situation where a helmet would be of any use. i know it could come, but life is full of danger and im not really all that fussed.
