I see relatively few people here riding with helmets. I use mine religiously since i would rather look stupid than dead.
LOL a helmet with a mirror, wtf
2. not all helmets look that bad, admittedly its more expensive to get a decent looking one and you do look better without one but after I had a fall and banged my head, and my helmet prevented any damage at all, I always wear one.
