Am I the only one who feels like a fucking loser wearing the dork helmet?

Every time I go cycling the only ones wearing helmets are
>elderly couples
>loser nerdy white and asian guys
>children
None of the cool masculine guys wear a helmet
Even skinny short girls will stop next to me, with no helmet and I just feel like a fucking faggot for being a helmetcuck

On the other hand I don’t want to hit a pothole or a car and become a vegetable - so maybe I really am a pussy coward
What do you guys think of this?
