Personally, I always wear a helmet.
Tonight I was blasting downhill in my favorite park and heading around a tightish curve at the bottom of the hill before it hits a rather steep climb. There were a fair number of runners, but I just plain didn't expect to suddenly have a woman directly in front of me, headed the wrong way, on a folding bike, and her daughter (also riding the wrong way) on the shoulder with her helmet hanging halfway off the back of her head.

I wanted to give the woman a piece of my mind - more out of shock than anything. I came THIS close to hitting her straight on - there was no way to see her until it was almost too late. Thankfully it wasn't too late and I got through that curve without hitting anyone She was fortunate I wasn't a car
