Day-to-day I wear a Razor sk8r-style helmet; I feel conventional bike helmets don't protect the back of my head well enough and I also think the aero-tail offers too much leverage for obstacles to grab and then snap my neck like a twig. Sometimes I'll wear my burnt orange original Skid Lid (with the quatrefoil cutouts) from ca. 1981, because I think it makes me look like something from Tron.

I'll put it on and dash into the shop and say "Jamie! Come quick, the future needs you!" and then bone out. It's good for a laugh, if not for actual protection.

I know I should wear a helmet more, but honestly, once the snow's off the ground, I see less need for a brain-bucket. Still and all, any helmet, no matter how much it costs, is cheaper than a PET scan. And I personally know a few people (maybe myself included) who would not be here without the impact protection of a good helmet. Besides that, wearing goggles on their own just looks dumb.
