Helmets

I have learned that even though I always wear a helmet and always insist that others I ride with wear theirs, I'm not going to make a fuss over a total stranger wearing one. I have in the past but it's just not worth it.

Responses typically vary from stupid to rude or a combination of both. Either you're going to wear one or for whatever reason you're not. Most reasons I've heard from people on the trail or road when I have commented make me wish I hadn't said anything at all.

I always wear mine because:
a) it makes a good impression on younger impressionable people for whom it is the law to wear a helmet;
b) it gives me the piece of mind that I will more likely come home safely to my family at the end of a ride no matter how short; and
c) I have crashed enough times in my life that if I wasn't wearing a helmet all of the time, I might not be here today.
