>>931310>Do you wear a bike helmet?on my road bike yes, on my town bike no
>Is it a law where you live?no, but pretty much everyone on a road bike wears one
>Have you ever actually fallen off of your bike and hit your head?Fallen off my town bike many times (alcohol), but never hit my head or hurt myself in any way.
>I don't wear a helmet when I ride my bike. I'm confident that I'm not ever going to land head-first into asphalt.I have a similar mentality but im going very fast on my road bike and people tend to misjudge the speed. I have had some close calls with nearly smashing into cars etc. If that kind of shit happens you really wont have much control over how you fall. Also my shoes are attached to the bike so controlling a fall will be quite difficult id expect. Im wearing a helmet just for the offchance I fall on my head and so should you.
Im also always wearing proper gloves because if I fall I naturally use my hands to catch myself. Just as important as a helmet desu, fucked up hands will hurt like a bitch in everyday life.
