I wear a helmet, granted I've not been cycling long, since about September. Even then, I had a horrible bout of Flu, since Late Nov, and only now feeling like I can get out and about properly again.
But I still would wear a helmet, even going along my local cycle path, in my opinion it's just not worth the risk. Others may disagree, but for me, I'm not doing it for competetive sport or anything like that, so just knowing that perhaps I am a little bit more safe makes all the difference, and to be honest at my standard of cycling, having a helmet on, doesn't make any difference to my ride.
Sorry, should have added I got mine at halfords for £30. Not top of the range, but well passed the standards set, and doesn't look completely stupid.
