Most people on this thread talk a lot about safety and prevention. And I'm in favor of safety and prevention. But I'm also willing to take a certain amount of risk for the sake of enjoyment and adventure. Probably a little more than most. Perhaps I'm an urban rider with a downhiller's mentality. Helmet 9 times out of 10. Fun 10 times out of 10. Craziness sometimes.
Come to think about it, I put eyeglasses in the "looks stupid" category. Its just I'm so accustomed to it. That includes sunglasses. Frames are now a fashion business. Helmets became the same.
