Wearing a helmet is no burden what so ever. It can probably mitigate injury when the unexpected happens like it did to me. I was knocked over at low speed by a driver comming out of a driveway that of course claimed "he didnt see me". At the very least it prevented road rash to the side of my head.
The operative word in this post is UNEXPECTED. Tell me how reading books and riding skilfully will prevent the unexpected!!!!
This is addressed by the "But there's a chance a helmet could save your life" argument applies to damn near every activity humans undertake" part of my post. Well, the UNEXPECTED part, anyway. As far as a reading a book goes, I don't know whether it'll help your tricycling or not, but it wouldn't hurt to be exposed to some spelling and sentence structure.
