More From Calvin and Hobbes
I ride frequently, and have never worn a helmet. It’s just too inconvenient to keep up with one. What am I supposed to do with my cap? How do I keep the helmet from getting stolen when I leave it on the bike? (I’m not totin’ that thing around the store with me, for example.)
I’ve had a couple of wrecks, one of which broke 6 ribs and a collarbone (in 2008). I bumped my head in that one, but not too hard. That’s the closest I’ve come to needing a bike helmet in my 60 years.
