This is why I always wear the best helmet I can afford

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!

Eep! Yes, thank goodness for helmets! I take wearing mine very seriously. It doesn't matter how short a distance you're going, you never know when a car might swerve unexpectedly! I've hit my head on the ground twice while wearing a helmet, and I hate to think of the amount of brain I might've left behind without one. So glad you're OK!
