Do you wear a helmet on your commute?

[ufkacbln]

The only time I will wear a helmet is on a track.

This lady does not have a helmet and she is on a track

Very interesting indeed...and to those who said never. Would you wear one on a fast motorbike if you didnt have to?

Fast motorbike? What do you mean by fast?

If it helps, I didn't wear one taking a Harley across the Nevada desert, but that thing wouldn't go over 70, which makes it the slowest motorbike I've ever ridden but is faster than I've cycled by a fair margin.

It depends if I am having a bad hair day......

I've been pedalling for over 40 years and have never worn a helmet.

Yep.. It's only 8 miles but just for peace of mind I wear one. Knowing my luck the day I don't, will be the day I fall off, head first into the road and only my head gets squished by a passing artic ;-)

You have great faith in the magical abilities of polystyrene to deflect a passing artic.

So wearing one will save your bonce from a squishing by an arctic? :troll:

Ah, an agenda starts to peek its head out from behind the curiosity.

You must be worn out!

Silly question, imho - but since you asked ..... I always wear a helmet when I'm riding a motorbike.

 

[Pat "5mph"]

Always on my commute, always when I ride on the roads, always when it's raining and cold.
Why?
Because my helmet keeps my hairstyle from being windswept, my head warm.
If I should bang my head on a fall I think it would help (irrational, I know).

If it's a sunny day AND I'm riding on a traffic free path, I have my helmet hanging from my rucksack.
Why?
Because I'm not going to work, don't care how my hair looks!
Should not be falling either, without black taxis pushing me into potholes. If I ever do, well, hope I land on my bum

I wear mine to hide my baldness.

Do you wear a condom when having sex ?

 

[Cow Pie]

I wear mine to catch wildlife, especially bugs an' stuff, in the summer. Makes for a tasty snack on my arrival at work. High in protein but low in calories. Yummy!!
