Helmet/ do you ride with one?

Well this is a good idea but i can't see myself with one. I have never own one for the simple reason they look stupid. maybe when they disign one that look cool maybe. How about you guys.
I bought a skate board crash helmet but no air vents. its does the job

They make some pretty awesome looking helmets. Any color scheme, lots of different designs. Trust me, if you can't be cool with a helmet you sure aren't cool without one. The helmet doesn't define the rider, the helmet defines your quality of life. I ride trails with one, I ride roads with a different one, and I'm cool with either one.
In fact, people have ridden with me without a helmet and usually get one shortly.
Wear a helmet! Especially if you have a job, a wife, any kids, grand-kids, car, hobbies, or anything else you care about.
Just my opinion.

This guy would have looked pretty stupid if he had not been wearing a helmet....

I could see where a lot of blood could have come from that.

...and you're not worried about looking stupid while wearing one of these on the bike?
