    This is an inherently close minded take on helmets.

    If you’re sharing the road with vehicles which can go 30mph, you need a helmet. You don’t need to be moving to be killed on a bike

      It’s been years since Go Pros were first becoming popular, but I remember stumbling across a biking forum and was appalled at the number of riders posting videos of assholes in cars trying to run them off the road. All it takes is once.

        A helmet will undoubtedly reduce the incurred injury of a collision or at least increase the threshold of force required for major head injury.

        At the end of the day, the only thing which really matters is protecting your head. Limbs are a bonus
