The worst is the dorky helmet. Aside from professional bikers, what grown man wears a helmet? He looks like Urkel for God's sake.
I'm afraid I have to plead guilty to the helmet. But I have a valid reason/excuse: I'm setting an example for my 6-year old boy.
(I've also seen how well a helmet will save a life: had a buddy of mine when I was a missionary, struck by a pick-up so hard on his bicycle that it stamped the
Specialized logo from his helmet into the hood of the truck. He was a hurtin' unit for about 6-9 months, spent longer than I care to think about in a coma in ICU, but he walked away from that accident, went home, and is leading a relatively normal life rather than feeding worms right now. No matter how stupid you think you look with a bike helmet on, you look even more stupid with a red tag on your toe.)
