Reminds me of my two holes in my head, one was my angry sister throwing a toycar after me and the other was me hitting a sharp edge after a friend pushed me while we were sort of wrestling.

That stuff just happens and although it could have been prevented by wearing a helmet, i doubt anybody would wear one on these occasions so why on the bike?

Not saying you shouldn't, feel free to wear what ever you want, but in my oppinion the possibility of having a head injury on the bike is quite rare and having a serious head injury where the helmet actually saves my life even more rare. I cycled about 20 years now almost every day, 15 without a helmet and i have never had a head injury, so the probability in my case is kinda canceling the helmet out.

Also the holes in my head weren't that bad as i got toys after each hospital visit. I hope it still works that way .
