I don't like helmets. Never have done. They feel too restrictive and my head gets hot. Having said that, i've never owned a helmet worth more than £35.00. Would it make a difference if I spent a bit more?
Also, i was out on a road ride before Christmas out to Southend. We took in some lovely country lanes and on one particular descent I noticed the speedo up around the 45mph mark. I didn't have a helmet on. At the bottom of the hill was a fuck off pot hole. We all managed to avoid it but it got me thinking. I've decided that I WANT to wear a helmet whilst out on country roads, doing silly speeds.
However I don't want to wear one when commuting / riding through the city as i feel much safer.
I don't get the logic really, but its the way i feel about it..
Jeez / MDCC... You may continue
