Helmet Check

The real question is, do you wear your helmet?

Feel free to chime in with a picture of your lid.

I wear my helmet when walking down the stairs and when coming out of the shower, but not when cycling. Risk statistics awareness first!

I wear one. I'm thinking about getting a nerdier one like a Bern so I can put stickers on it.

Always on the track (mandatory) or off road, usually on the road, unless it's a really short trip to do a quick errand or visit someone nearby. The only time I've ever needed it has been when I crashed in races, and several times I got concussions anyway, so if I hadn't been wearing it I'd either be a vegetable or dead, but wearing a helmet when racing is mandatory.
