Oh, several reasons are often quoted: * I'm so skilled that I don't ever fall * wearing a helmet should be a personal choice, and I'm exercising my right not to * Helmets are only rated for falls at fairly slow speed, and I'm so fast that a helmet won't help me much * Vehicles are the big danger, and a helmet won't do squat if I get run over by an 18-wheeler. * Hemets increase the weight and size of my head, making me more likely to hit it. If I don't wear a helmet I can keep my head from hitting the grund by tensing my neck muscles really hard. * Bike riding is really a low risk activity, More people get hurt falling over while walking than biking, so helmets for walking would make more sense than bike helmets. * They're ugly * They mess up my hair * They're uncomfortable There are more, but I think I'll stop there. Do note that some are outright silly, while there's actually a point to some of them. Personally I would recommend wearing a helmet anyhow. For what they cost, and for how easy they are to wear I think they're a bargain even if they'd only save you from a split eyebrow. Note that
