WEAR A HELMET.
I got buzzed by a car tonight and went over the bars. Cracked my helmet and STILL suffered a concussion.
Saved my f'ing life. No joke.

I had a bad spill a while ago.
Went back to "the scene" to try to reconstruct the events and found a 3" Wide by 8" long blue stripe on the street. Since the bike involved was red I ignored the stripe until my buddy pointed out the fact that my hemet was blue....Yea, that would have been skin......
Enjoy
quit trying to oppress me with your helmet fascism man!

Yeah. People should either wear a helmet or not crash. Free choice. I do the latter;)
I would've picked the latter if I had the choice! Too bad I live in "I have no idea what to do when a cyclist is in the road" PHX, AZ and commute via bicycle.
No joke though. I'd never owned one until about 3 weeks ago when I got one for my birthday. Crazy stuff. I feel like I should go out and buy a Powerball ticket.
Also wear a helmet when walking and driving a car. The percentage of head injuries doing those activities is even higher than the ones resulting from cycling.
