Do us a favor. DON'T wear a bike helmet. Let Darwin sort this out.
No problem with wearing a helmet. In fact, I wear one at most of my group rides.
What I can't stand is the belief that not wearing one is suicidal, that you'll be dead within 10 mins if you ride barehead, that cycling is one of the most dangerous sports, that if you fall, you'll always hit your head, and if you hit your head, automatically you're dead or in vegetative condition - unless you're wearing a helmet, in which case you'll be fine.
