Hybrid and Road bikes.

[gavroche]

Now that I own an Hybrid I realised that it doesn't occur to me to wear a helmet. I go out with it wearing normal clothes and just trainers. In other words, I just hop on it and go. On the other hand, using my road bikes, I wear full cycling gear, cleat shoes and helmet of course . I know the dangers are exactly the same but somehow, I feel I don't need a helmet on my hybrid . Are you like that too?

No, I would wear a helmet, but it's up to you!

The disputed evidence is that a helmet is actually of more use potentially at low speeds not the higher forces of a higher speed fall so your logic is at odds with that

No, I don't wear a helmet on my road bike. Or my touring bike, or MTB..

I know the dangers are exactly the same

Negligible dangers, you mean? Compared to driving, or walking down the street, for instance?
I wonder how long before this thread gets "merged".

Don't feel the need to wear a helmet at any time on any bike full stop.

MOD NOTE:
This thread is not the place to discuss the Helmet debate - which has its very own special thread, with its very own Special Rules.

Neither is it specifically about Hybrid and Road bikes.

If you wish to discuss helmets and helmet wearing, it must be done in the Helmet Debate thread ONLY.

This thread is therefore being Closed.
