So you drive 20min to go meet some friends for a ride. Once you get there and are everyone is dress and ready to start the ride you realize that you forgot your helmet.

Do you ride without one or just call it a day and head home?

Ask stosh.

 

[ncrider]

I'd take it as a sign to go home get a beer and chill.

Ride. If you forgot your helmet there probably isn't much up there to protect anyway...

 

[Konabumm]

I rode! Just took it easy.

I think that is the first time in 10 years I haven't had a helmet on

hmmm sounds familiar

he went back 1/2 hr each way to get the helmet

 

[Total Heckler]

I would make the firends wait. =]

 

[McGRP01]

My friends would do a quick loop while I ran home to get my lid and then they'd meet me back at the trialhead.

 

[lovebunny]

well considering i have a skate lid sitting in my car. worst comes to worst im just going sanjay style

 

[stosh]

Ask stosh.

funny and true!!!

 

[DHS]

i feel naked without one. you're a ****ing moron to not wear one. and i usualy try not to ride with people that do.

 

[stosh]

Yeah but you guys waited and that was super nice. The best part is when we got done riding there was a cold case of beer waiting for us.

Ditto, I feel naked when I don't wear a camelbak too.

and then I got 2 flat tires while we were riding....

 

[hooples3]

Leave it to you to say some rude to someone.....

Yeah I was screaming for a good pump STAT and nobody was responding.... That f'ing crank bro's pump I have blows....

I should probably invest in a CO2 pump.

I never ride the mtb without a helmet. But on the road bike if it's a super hot day and I'm climbing for 6 or 7 straight miles, the helmet hangs out on the bars. But the second the road turns down, it goes back on my head.

 

[sanjuro]

Depends. If I went to N* and I left my helmet at home, I would put my hiking boots on and tell my buddies to enjoy themselves. If it was my local XC loop, I have ridden without a helmet. it doesn't matter much for the climbs, and I am on the brakes for most of the descent.

 

[blt2ride]

Depends on the ride...personally, I would go home and get my helmet.

I beg to differ.

That is so liberating though...probably like when a dude goes commando...I forgot the outside of my camelbak one day and I rode anyway...just did a short loop and drank a bunch from it before and after...but I felt light as a feather without that thing on my back.

 

[PonySoldier]

Well Done

I went commando the other night and hated it. :mumble:

 

[Senôr Lopez]

I know it's a serious no no to go helmetless around these parts, but if I forgot it I would just go easy and enjoy the ride.

 

[TreeSaw]

Yeah, aren't I nice :devil:

 

[TreeSaw]

I'd never ride our local trails or any others without a helmet so I would definitely go home and get it. My friends would probably head in, do a short loop and meet me or I would just try to catch up!

Get the helmet, yo.

 

[MtnBikerChk]

I agree with DHS. You are a moron if you don't wear one.

 

[Reactor]

Concussions are no fun. Wear the helmet.
