Why make this personal? Why act rudely?
To answer the question:
I don't dance, so I couldn't tell you. I don't wear a helmet while tying shoes since I've never fallen while tying shoes, never seen or heard of anyone fall and hit their head while tying their shoes (I'm sure there's a YouTube video
), and am at a pleasant 0mph and sitting or kneeling when tying my shoes; therefore I have no expectation whatsoever of hitting my head, or indeed of suffering any injury.
Now, on a bicycle I'm off the ground and moving at a fair clip over concrete, often with motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians nearby--people whose actions I cannot control or predict with invariable accuracy. I know from statistics
and experience that you can indeed fall off a bike, hit your head, get hit by a car, etc. I know from experience a helmet can mitigate or prevent some head injury. Ergo, I wear one. A bonus is that I don't in any way mind wearing a helmet: there is no discomfort or exorbitant cost involved. My government does not force me to wear one, so I have no issue there, either.
