Answer 17

every time i ride.

Answer 18

I don't ride without one...All it takes is one crash to change your mind...There's only two kinds of cylclists, those that have crashed, and those that will...

Answer 19

Oh, you're talking about a bicycle.  Nobody even thought of it when I was a kid.  But now that I'm an adult, I wear it all the time.  As for the other--motorcycles--only an idiot would ride without a helmet, and I can't believe the law allows it.

Answer 20

Yea u have to wear a helmet because if the cops see you you can get fined for riding without it

Answer 21

yes. seen too many crushed helmets from folks who are hardly hurt at all, maybe a headache, to not wear one.

I do not wear a helmet to go to the post office less that 500m from my house but I do not ride on the road to get there, only the sidewalk. But whenever I go onto a road or onto a trail with trees you can bet I've got my head covered. seriously! And helmets are nice now with many vents and easy attachments to your head. It's not like the days of the V1Pro head heater.

Answer 22

Yep.   All mountain bikers wear helmets.   If you have a mountain bike and ride it off-road, you are a pretender.

Helmets are the only thing keeping you from brain damage for pete's sake.   You need to wear one because even if you ride very carefully and are very skilled, you cannot plan on a blowout or some other person/animal darting out in your path at the last minute and causing you to wreck.

Answer 23

no but i should
