helmet anyone?

Glad to hear you have no broken bones, Lenny. I know you looked like you were hurting pretty bad when you were over earlier. Take it easy the next couple days. If you need anything (even a ride anywhere, etc), just give me a call.

I used to wear a BELL half-face bicycle helmet with MB gloves,rollerblade shinpads and jogging shoes. Now I upgraded to SNELL 3/4 face helmet, full leather gloves, steel-toed laced boots and tile-setter's shinpads. My wife's happy I'm wearing safety gear. I need all the protection I can get, riding in crazy traffic.

I wear all my safety gear! bicycle Hemet (brain bucket) , gloves , and safety glasses

Hi
Bicycle speed = half helmet
More speed (like a motorbicycle) = full helmet
I have a half helmet, but I wish I had a full helmet
Peace

Helmet and safety glasses saved my head!

I drink beer, I fall on my head. I slip on gravel (riding) I fall on my head, Helmets are uncomfortable, hot, and heavy. I ALWAYS wear mine. My 9-10th one! Check your tire pressure, NOW. Your chain also. Ride smart, and when you can, Real Fast

i wear a dot motocross helmet, full face? mouth/chin gaurd? yes, fold down shield? no. havent used it yet,on the asphalt, yet. HEY!! DO A WHEELIE! hill climber

I wouldn't even consider wearing a helmet on a MB.But I live in a fairly small town and my commutes are fairly tame,also by law Azins are not required to wear one.I treat these very much like bicycles and I know I would never use a helmet on a bicycle.

I went out to L.A. last weekend,around the Long beach area and the traffic was so intense I don't know if I would be comfortable with a MB, I guess you have to use the sidewalk alot,didn't see many bike lanes where I was,definitely helmet area there........Peace

I ALWAYS wear a helmet now on the bike... I fell on a wet road and hit the ground hard on my right hip and thigh .... I had a bruise that was about 1/3rd the size of my thigh and after a couple of days my whole body ached.

If I had hit the ground with my head without a helmet (which I wasnt wearing) and done the same damage as I did to my leg I would probably be in a wheelchair or worse.

Everyone should wear a helmet of some description because while 30mph is slow in 2 tons of Toyota, its a helluva lot faster when there is nothing around you and the only thing thats going to hit the pavement is a large chunk of you and nothing else.

If you don't wear a helmet gravity will get you sooner or later

a head will crack nicely especially on cement which is harder and less for giving than pavment!!!

its a week after my crack up and I am still recovering thanks only to my helmet a good one weighs very little and does an amazing job.

I could hear my helmet cracking apart and my head was completely undamaged, I could even see parts of it flying away from me!

Use one it can save your life.

I have ridden many thousands of miles on a bike and i used to think helmets were useless NOT ANY MORE, that was the first time i was thrown from my bike and I have had minor accidents before while riding a bike.

I don't want to see anyone seriously hurt so please reconsider.
