It is really beautiful to ride without a helmet - a real sense of freedom with the wind in your hair. We used to train with no helmets for years and only race with strip helmets. Maybe i am a bit of a fatalist, if you are meant to go, well you will go. On a training ride once, a mate of mine was killed, he was the only one wearing a helmet out of all of us. I do ride with a helmet now, but sometimes i ride near home with no helmet and it does feel good and brings back those memories - a long time ago
