@InuvikPhil your actually right i got hit by a car on a bike i almost died was in intensize care for a week and in the hospital a total month i guess it's all about what you choose. to wear or not to wear.
You can ride a bike as safely as possible, be the best rider -- and then someone else hits you with a car because they're drunk, or they didn't see you. Even if you ride a bike 999 days in a row and nothing happens...there is still a chance. Why not protect your brain? Anyhow -- do what you like! I'm wearing a helmet.
I hope you're not serious: Helmets save lives. I once flipped off my bike and landed on my helmet, it cracked against the pavement but I was fine. Helmet is as important as a seatbelt in a car, as important as safety goggles when using a saw or drill.
@weedissafer Hope you are ok but it doesn´t make him right. A cracking helmet = a failed helmet.
Maybe that cardriver was an ex-cyclist who got scared by all the helmet propaganda.
Not even the helmet producers suggest their product help vs a moving car.
Why doesn´t cardrivers use helmets. There is always a risk and they even get to use really useful helmets.
How about pedestrians. Helmets for them too. Maybe a bulletproof vest.
