I'm new to bicycle riding; and I've always heard/been told, 'Where your helmet'. It wans't "cool" back in high school (but I never road a bicycle, so it worked out) but now, every single co-worker than rides a bicycle has a helmet. I bought one when I first got my bicycle (had problems, everything is returned and I'm starting over).
I'm not sure if I should buy a helmet; I've heard that in some cases it makes things *worse* and in some cases it *might* make things better.
I'm sure there will be people on both sides of the debate - but mostly, I'm curious what 'most people' who are serious riders do. Do most of you all ride with helmets or do most of you ride without; or is it 50/50?
