    As a member of Gen X, we didn’t wear helmets as kids (because the helmet usually cost more than the bike) and the habit stuck for a lot of people.

      For me it’s a habit, 80s kid, I just don’t even think about it. I don’t ride very often either, only a couple times a year and usually on paths. But that doesn’t excuse it :(

        I can honestly say I’ve owned plenty of bicycles, but zero bicycle helmets.

        Motorcycles are a different story though; I always wear a full-face helmet.
