Wagging finger...yikes!
I got to see one of those helmet-probably-saved-him accidents firsthand on a ride this weekend. As it was, dude had a nasty bump and a cut and some memory loss, and I shiver to think about what it would have looked like if he hadn't been wearing his helmet. And it was just one guy who lost control of his bike after hitting a patch of sand, no other cyclists, no cars, no factors like that. Black ice sounds scarier than sand.
But, hey, everyone forgets stuff sometimes. It's not like you intentionally didn't wear a helmet. Glad you were safe!

It happens!
I took off on my new mountain bike the same way. Flip flops, no helmet, yeah... just a cruise around the hood, at 5 o'clock. I look up, cars everywhere. No road ID, nothing. Back home I went! As far as your ride...you won't do that again, I guarantee you!
