I have already destroyed several helmets, while I wore them on the head!! I am very sure, that I would live no more, if I had worn no helmet in the past. Why you can't cycle with a helmet, dear Elena?
I do not know... Not conveniently... I can not cycle in a helmet and in spectacles... probably because I cycle a little and basically not on asphalt ... Earlier - in park (500 meters to the park on footpath) ... appear, that the helmet there isn't necessary, as there are no cars ... Now - in wood (3 km to the forest), truth partially on a highway (little)...
I need to accustom itself to a helmet... for discipline :) ... Today in wood has met the Real bicyclist - he was in a helmet :) ... But the majority cycle without helmets in our forest ...
Dear Elena, the majority of cyclists, which I met in Russia, wore helmets. And a female cyclist does not look very bad with a helmet :-)) Look at Zhanetta from bike club Caravan Moscow:
Modern helmets are light and well ventilated. My dear Elena, your brain is worth to protect it!!!
