This is why I always wear the best helmet I can afford
See the cracks and missing chunk in this image:
That would be my head.
If you ride slowly on cycle paths or in Copenhagen, you can get by without one. Over 10kph/6mph and in mixed traffic, just cope with helmet hair. Brains belong on the inside!

that's been up to discussion in Germany too, but most people fall on the : let's not force it side.
I guess a lot of attitude towards helmets has to do with the biking environment. Are the cars used to it, do lots of people bike, etc. You never see a helmet in the Netherlands. I often wear one in Germany (not always though) but I've never felt the need to wear one in the Netherlands either. Their bikes are so comfortable... I used to horseride so I know what helmets can do (in the positive sense).
So so glad you wore yours and that you're ok.
