I mountain bike now but, I never wore a helmet riding on the road. The danger factor doesn't exist in road riding
>hurr but you might fall
Skill issue, age issue
>hurr but a car might hit you
Situational awareness skill issue

I have near misses regularly with people that don't look before making a turn
I got taken out by an old man in an SUV that had no business driving because he made a turn on red without checking and nobodies reaction time is faster than a car

and then when all the people started gathering around and this fat woman gets out of her car he goes "I couldn't see you because she was in front of me"
and she goes "I was behind you"
he had no idea what was going on. It's not your situational awareness you need to be worried about

This is what some faggot retard welder told me about danger in the workplace too.

Being aware of what everyone else is doing is part of situational awareness. Paying attention to what you're doing is only half of it. He was just a lil bitch

Spoken like a true retarded faggot. Thousands of Pros infinitely more skilled than you wear them all the time.

If you're never scared on a bike, it's because you're not going fast enough or hard enough.
Whatever your level, the unexpected happens. The Pro fall all the time and they are the most skilled.

They should make better looking helmets. Nobody complains about motorcycling helmets.

Lol Australian cops just keep making shit up every year to find more reasons to siphon money from you.

I wouldnt be surprised if they started fining people for not wearing motorcycle jackets in cars for "safety reasons".

Cycling is a cardio sport. Mountain biking is a skill sport
>inb4 but you said skill issue
Basic ability to ride a fucking bike. Beyond that, no skill is required to road ride

Did you already get your dose of brain trauma? A standard road helmet doesnt cover your eyes or ears

The famous last words of the arrogan.How many times do you reckon someone like you has been shot headfirst out of their own windshield because they refused to wear a seatbelt?

There are several studies that showed drivers tend to be less cautious with cyclists who wear helmets, in part because they perceive them as less human. Wearing a helmet is definitely a sign that you don't trust your own skills. It's kind of like people who have a mirror on their bike. If you do not have the mobility or the awareness to look around you, you should not ride a bike. If you are one of those people who do not realize that "sharing the road" with several large pieces of metal moving much faster than you means that you have to be extra careful and extra visible, you should not ride a bike. If you are the type of person who thinks most car drivers are not murderous maniacs out there to put an abrupt end to your fun afternoon ride, you should not ride a bike. If you are too old to take a lateral hit from a car at a moderate urban speed, you should not ride a bike. A helmet is not going to make a difference. Sports like mountain biking or snowboarding definitely justify the use of a helmet. Cycling does not.
