What is so uncool about wearing a helmet?

 

This morning i passed a guy, pip exposed, cruising with a group all wearing their lids. Not even peer pressure can get some people to wear that atrocious bit of plastic that happens to be the only thing between your brain and the tarmac.

 

Can anyone explain this to me? We spend thousands on upgrades and bibs and gloves but a few hundred bucks to keep you alive is out of the question, I'm confused.

Just outside Stellenbosch.

 

Ja, I'm sure he's a damn idiot. The wife probably wouldn't let him start his life long dream of becoming a fire eater so he started cycling, now I've got to endanger everyone on the road just to stay away from him.

Maybe he just forgot his helmet and decided to take a chance today?


 

So... if you forget your shoes... Do you still go ride in your flip flops or trainers that you drove in?

I think not.

I had a feeling this post would go downhill but this I never expectedLOL

 

And what about those team caps some peeps wear under their lids, some guys just go without the helmet. Those caps must be super strong, and much lighter than a helmet. That sounds like the answer to Mr Stupid's dilemma

Perhaps, like millions around the world, he simply chooses not to wear a helmet.  Or perhaps he knows that his chance of falling are extremely low, his chances of hitting his head are a fraction of that (and even lower because he is not wearing a helmet) and should all these eventualities come to pass, the chances of his helmet providing adequate protection is a fraction of that fraction.
