While it is usually fools and newbs who roll around helmets, one of my friends will ride around without a lid.
He is one of the most skilled riders I know, 5 time Motorcycle Trials champion. He rides road, mountain, sport bikes, mx; all of it well.
But he will go alot of bicycles rides without a helmet.
So of course, he was tooling on his sh*tbike, on the sidewalk going the wrong way, when a truck pulls out and smacks into him.
My friend lost some skin, trashed his wheels, but luckily no head contact. And he was not wearing a helmet.
