. . I hate to heat it up, but I had the experience last of August of an unexpected control loss at about 25 MPH (bike lane suddenly cut off by an unexpected right turn). I missed the car but my rear wheel didn't . . 2 to 3 second "rag doll". The hip got hurt, but the helmet (Giro Hex) saved me from a serious on the back of the head--the hip can heal, but once you loose your math skills, they are gone.
Okay, no helmet on dedicated pathways . . I'm cool with this, and I love summer riding. For speeds over 25, and/or riding abeam traffic, however, wear a helmet . . for your loved ones. You can't control all the outcomes!
