Re: Re:
Don't quite agree - I found having a helmet also really helps when your bike slips out sideways due to lack of traction - you are clipped in and you hit the ground with your shoulder and side of your head. Has happened to me twice at very low speeds - nothing I could have done to stop my head hitting the tarmac - crushed my helmet in both instances. Wouldn't ride without one
