And yes you should be scared to ride!!!!!!
BTW - cheap helmets are just as good as expensive helmets but protecting the noggin - OK they maybe be heavier and have less air vents and maybe don't come in pretty colors but there's just no excuse not to have bought your helmet first thing.
OK, I did lecture but hopefully you understand I care you don't get hurt.
