If helmets weren't compulsory, would YOU wear one?
As title.
Interested in the answer, the few states in America that helmet wearing isn't compulsory, a lot of riders don't wear them. |

I feel vulnerable without leathers let alone without a helmet. I'd wear one regardless. At the end of the day my kids want their dad to come home.

Yep I still would. As dkid said about being vulnerable. also had a fair bit off gravel rash as a spotty teenager. I think leathers should be compulsory to.

FFS ... and approved hi-viz and approved gloves and boots and airbag jackets and tougher bike tests and (more) approved bhp restrictions. Lets make it impossible for the young team to even contemplate getting a bike. |

It covers up my gingerness so maybe I should just wear one all the time, even off the bike.

Yes. Helmets should not be compulsory for the over 18's.

Re: If helmets weren't compulsory, would YOU wear one?
Have never ridden on the road without one so it would feel odd not to now. So probably would still wear one.
