Everyone else is chiming in.....so..... I wear a helmet when mountain biking in my typical fashion. I ride NC and Southeast singletrack with very steep, rocky descents as fast as I can. I have broken more than one helmet via crashes. It would be idiotic to not wear a helmet. I suspect even the anti-helmet crowd would see the sense in a helmet here.
I wear a helmet when doing 'go fast' road rides. For me, in this situation, there's no good reason not to. I do not bother with a helmet when riding to the park, pedaling around on a beach vacation, or even heading downtown for errands, etc. My father on the other hand religously wears a helmet....he WILL NOT sit on a bike without a helmet. This seems silly to me. Most of the 'mountain biking' I see on the Riv site looks perfectly fine for helmetless riding. IMO fighting against helmets on a widespread basis is pointless. Make your own decisions. Anyone been on the ski slopes recently? Talk about creating a market out of nothing! I don't know ANYONE who has ever taken a serious knock while skiing, but suddenly 30%+ of the market is wearing a shell.
