And before this becomes a crucifixion, of course I know and agree that helmets are super important and safety should be the first concern for all riders.
And lastly, what is the current helmet you ride with on your road bike? Or the best helmet you ever had if you currently dont use it?
I ALWAYS wear one. I've fallen on my head and broke the helmet once. It probably saved my life and for sure avoided major injuries. I was not going that fast, and I was able to ride the remaining 20km home, albeit with pain in my neck which lasted for months.
I know of a cyclist who died because he fell while STATIONARY and hit his head on the sidewalk. It's probably extremely bad luck, but a helmet is cheap.
