Posting from hospital
I always used a helmet to cycle to and from work
I absentmindedly left my helmet at a friends house on Tuesday night, and was going to pick it up Friday morning on the way to work
Thursday night, cycling home as normal...wake up on road side with paramedics - I have no idea what happened
Nothing life threatening, but I needed 4 stitches on my noggin, a broken cheekbone and some grazing on the side of my face - I dont think I would have suffered these injuries with a helmet
I am now a staunch supporter of wearing helmets all the time
