      You really should. You’ve only got the one brain, and that brain is actually pretty delicate for how squishy it is, given it’s contained inside a very stiff skull. A helmet at least puts some extra shock absorption between your brain and whatever’s going to hit your head.

        Unless you’re on one of those weird American mega roads or something, it’s not a major risk

          I forgot how accidents only happen here in the US. Couldn’t possibly have collisions with anyone in the EU or UK. Couldn’t have anything bad happen on a bicycle anywhere else. Nope, just the US.

          Wear your damn helmet. You’ll thank me when your skull doesn’t get fractured because you ran over a small rock or hit a wet patch and lost control.

          They don’t call them “accidents” because you can avoid 100% of them.
