Re: Would you qualify....

NO. No no no NOOOOO!!!

It really is so bad. Going without a helmet on a bike can mean the difference between a bad fall with a few bruises and permanent brain damage that affects your mood, personality, memory, ability to walk, ability to see.... everything for the rest of your life.

There is a HUGE increased risk of head trauma when you're on a bicycle as opposed to being inside a car or simply walking.

Holy shit goddamn I can't even stress enough how wrong that sentiment is. Everyone: please PLEASE wear a helmet. I say this as someone who has to work with people who have suffered brain injuries. You NEED to protect your head when you're on a bike.

I understand in cities where there's cars, but for the most part if you're not going fast and know how to bike it's not more necessary than say when you're jogging.

Re: Would you qualify....

[herpymcderp]

If you're jogging and you fall over, there's a pretty good chance you're going to be able to put your hands out and avoid hitting your head. On a bike, you're both going faster than the average jogger, and you usually don't have the same forewarning and ability to spare your head in the fall.

It is more necessary. The force of impact you could potentially sustain while walking or running is many, many times less than what you could potentially sustain while you're on a bike, no matter what you believe about your own skill.

Wear a helmet.

Gotta agree here. Wear a helmet, please.

Re: Would you qualify....

Agreed so hard. I don't care if you're riding a bicycle, a motorcycle, a skateboard, an ATV or a horse, helmets are always a good idea. Several years ago, I invited a friend out to ride my horse Sharif. She said she was a good enough rider that she didn't need the helmet, but I talked her into wearing it anyway. It's good thing she did, because as soon as she nudged Sharif into a trot he spooked at something (probably another baby bunny, knowing Sharif) and she fell right off and hit her head on the roundpen's metal tubular panels. The helmet ended up with a massive dent and a few cracks. She ended up getting a prescription of extra-strength ibuprofen the next day. Her doctor said that if she hadn't been wearing the helmet, it could have easily cracked her skull or worse.

So remember kids, no matter how good you are (or think you are)at riding of any kind, accidents can still happen and wearing a safety-certified helmet can mean the difference between life and death!
