I ride on a 3 speed upright, not exactly setting a land speed record. The helmet I do wear is mainly because I've got a collection of concussions that have already resulted in epilepsy so it would be pretty dumb to tempt fate further. Any crash that would require more protection than the simple helmet (Bell Metro, if anyone cares) is going to involve me getting plowed by a crazy-@$$ Baltimore driver and I'll have enough other problems that a fancy/expensive helmet isn't going to save me.
