I never liked wearing a helmet but lately I've taken to wearing one.

About the only time I see more "no helmets" is maybe on a "bike night".

I was wondering how many of you wear a helmet and even don't have to?
As someone who's eventually going to need a transplant, I'm for "no helmets".

I say do what you want. When your times up, your times up. Helmet or Not.

My friends that are LEOs have told me too many stories about people’s heads being ground into the pavement. Would a helmet have saved anyone? Probably not as often as you’d think, but I still wear mine for my families piece of mind.

Helmet, every time.

A bad bike wreck that a friend of mine had years ago made me start wearing one no matter where I go. A helmet saved his life as well as his wife’s.

Well, no helmet law here. I don't wear one when cruising around the neighborhood...but when I leave the tract, go out in traffic...I wear a full face every time. And I'm 64 yrs. old. Don't care what it looks like, lol.
