I wear a helmet 99.76% of the time. Once in a great while, I can'r resist the temptation to ride 3 blocks to the post office without one. I hope that .24% doesn't bite me in the ass someday.

Here's my pro helmet story:

Whenever I ride to work, mountain bike, or ride my road bike, I always wear one without any hesitation. A few years ago, I was mountain biking by myself.....and thats about all I remember until I drove to my friends apartment. I had been laying unconscious for an hour and a half or so (estimated by friends), somehow managed to get to my car, put bike on roof, drive 10 miles home. I had a concussion, broken helmet, and a broken scapula.


Everyone knows that's what gypsy tears are for
