Yeah, don't think I'll be giving mine up.
My brain (as good or as bad as it is) is the only asset I've got.
10 years ago (plus a couple of months) a work colleague riding over the Go Between Bridge (waaay too fast) practically lost his on the way to work. Admittedly the bicycle helmet probably only prolonged his life by a fortnight, as the coup-counter-coup injury (helped by the utterly pointless railing and a unhealthy dose of velocity) did most of the deed.
A smart bloke turned to a vegetable in a single morning.
No, helmets still have a place.
