C'mon, everyone knows you're different.
Seems you go down more than I have in 40 years (and I too rode with the randonneurs)
20 of those years were without helmets where I fell more often than the 20 years with them, so I know what it's like to crash without one too. I don't have to wonder what would have happened.
