This isn't about helmet effectiveness/ineffectiveness its about attitudes to helmets.
If we acknowledge a helmet offers a bit more protection during low speed impact to your head than
A) Nothing
B) a cloth cap
and if you accept you CAN fall off your bike, however rarely - it can happen
So for the sake of a few quid you could avoid a nasty bang on the head. gravel rash, possible stitches, mild concussion, in the even of an accident,
why wouldn't you wear a helmet ?
you probably wear gloves to protect your hands
so whats it about helmets that you don't like?
