I forgot my helmet once when I was doing a training ride for a double century. I rode about 30 miles without it. My husband was doing sag for the ride - we were riding up the back side of Mt Hamilton middle of nowhere with no options for refueling. He brought it to me. We didn't want to wait for him to show up at the ride start since we had a long day - about 150 miles ahead of us.
You know as kids we rode without helmets. Yeah, I think it's a good precaution, but I'm going to live my life and ride my bike. And I'm certainly not going to "judge" adults who choose not to wear a helmet. Out nanny state irritates me.

I can't ride without one. I'm too clumsy and I'm sure it would be THAT day that I would manage a fall. The only time I rode without one was this summer at campground and it was sooooo fun nothing on your head. But I started to think of something bad that could happen and next ride I had it on.
