Hah ... my response was ... AWKWARD ...
Definitely preferable to the asshats who have pulled me over on my bike in the States though.

Looks like a PSA, but the more I ride and the stronger/faster I get the more I feel I need to invest in a helmet. I'm building a road bike that I'm going to assume is much faster than my fixed gear. I trust my body and my bikes fine, but I don't trust other cyclists or drivers out there.
I feel pretty stupid right now for not having a helmet.

The thing about helmets ... I dunno. I like to think I am not a complete tard, but riding without a helmet is 90% unjustifiably worse than riding with a helmet. I just can't bring myself to do it though. Between the sweat and basically looking like a tard ... hmmm ... :|

Anyone else think it is assinine for a cop to pull you over for running a red light at a deserted t-intersection?
Seriously, a t-intersection. :|

yes.... yes it is, but they'll do it anyway and convince themselves it's for the greater good.

I'd put up with an awkward hug from a total stranger in a police uniform if it involved a free helmet and not a citation and/or abduction.
