Recently on a ride home from work, my tires got stuck (thank you cable car tracks) and I ate it hard. Yes, I had a minor concussion, but I basically walked away from it with a few cuts and bruises. I wasn't even going that fast maybe 10 mph, but it was still harsh & I actually freaked out people on the sidewalk. They kind of all came over to me, asking in very concerned voices, "Are you okay?"
My reply: Yea, I'm fine, it's a good thing I'm wearing a helmet.
Had that not been the case, I'd have needed stitches and would have had a nasty head injury. So PLEASE WEAR YOUR HELMET! Just because you're not going on a long ride, mountain biking, or going down some huge downhill, doesn't mean something unexpected might not happen. If you break your arm, it will mend, you get another chance. If you break your head, that same rule doesn't always apply.
