Should I get a helmet?
- Thread starter muddy_fox
- Start date
I began wearing helmets because of my kids. I realized I couldn't very well tell them to wear a helmet while not wearing one myself. So I bought a good one and began to wear it. At first, I felt like a conspicuous, bloomin' idiot, but after a few months that feeling pretty much went away.
Bought a new helmet, a red one this time, just the other week. Came in handy yesterday too. I was coasting downhill, ducked my head to thread my way under a fallen tree that was leaning across the trail, and didn't duck far enough. I was glad enough for the helmet then, believe me.

interesting side note, Ihave had thousands of crashes on my mountain bike, who hasn't?, and only twice have I hit my head, but I have had a small handfull of crashes comuting to work and obliterated three helmets and severly smashed two more. so for comuting I would say a helmet is not a good idea but an absolute must!
A helmet is ALWAYS an absolute must, unless you are a clairvoyant type of person. ALWAYS expect that you will crash and hit your head, even if you're riding around your own driveway. NOBODY is too good to crash.
yes, always need a helmet! you sound accident prone, maybe a full face sixsixone for riding don the road! 
having a helmet is necessary, i banged my head pretty bad once. get one!
skid lid, the older model pro-tecs(dont make them anymore, or look for the bucky lasek pro-tec, super comfortable. all soft padding no hard foamy ****
