+1000
I rode my second 100k of the past two weeks in a pair of cargo shorts, a t-shirt and no helmet. Ridden about 1,400 miles so far this year, kind of a slow start for me. Had a great time. Didn't die. All you need to do to be safe is to get some education (Cycling Savvy is my favorite) and ride intelligently.

Notice none of the people enjoying those tours are wearing a helmet (or bicycling specific clothing for that matter) but are out having a great time. I think part of the problem with many sports is that the extra equipment many say you MUST HAVE discourages many from starting the sport due to the expense ofthat equipment.
