Yeh - there's no excuse these days, especially as all the pro's have to wear them during competitions now.

There's also some cool helmets out there now - they don't all look like bomb-heads any more, and if you get one with a colour that goes with your bike or team kit they can look really good.

A quote I read in a magazine a few month ago about the helmet debate : 'I'd rather feed my children then have them feed me.' but I'm sure I'm preaching to the converted here...
