Now, if you exit a trail into the woods at speed, you die regardless. If you crash hard on ice, you get a concussion regardless. But wiggling through bush, helmets are quite useful. I've seen a friend pull a finger sized branch out of his scalp. That said, I enjoy "No Helmet Saturday" on occasion.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4213956784784062266.post-82645373044677833722017-09-07T14:01:23.793-04:002017-09-07T14:01:23.793-04:00Youse guize could just put some menthol taint lube...Youse guize could just put some menthol taint lube on your nips.

If you are skiing in the trees or doing tricks, sure.

I just can't help myself. although I only have two helmuts. Three bikes though. And enough spare parts to support a pro team. I'm able to talk myself into bike related purchases that are absolutely unnecessary, and I know it at the time. I do this time and time again, somehow expecting some kind of revelatory experience with the lasted purchase. What is wrong with me. I must be trying to compensate for something from my childhood.
