i was pretty much all about only wearing a helmet in the winter, when i had a greater likelihood of slipping and falling at lower speeds. however, i recently had a dream about having part of my scalp ripped off as i slid across the payment. it sort of stuck with me, so i took it as an omen of sorts. i didn't like my bell citi, i do like my bell alchera. it was mildly uncomfortable near my brow during a few 95*+ days. the rest of the time i forget i'm wearing it.
