I always use the toughest helmet types because I'm always riding my bike (If I could, I guess I would live on a bicycle). Even if it's a simple route, I always wear a helmet.

I could have 2 different helmet types because for easy trails I could use a simpler one, but I'd rather save money by buying a tougher helmet. It's more effective.

I prefer the soft leatherette on my head. Some bikers I know want the tougher helmet which is quite expensive. But for me, I am just a leisure biker and I can say that I don't even need a helmet since I usually use the bike inside our village only. But for long trips, it is imperative that I wear the helmet just in case a vehicle would bump me behind then my head if protected somehow.

I use a tough helmet which was a little expensive but tougher and gives longer life. Once when I was in an accident it saved me from banging my head on the road and the helmet just got scratched and I didn't even have a single scratch or bruise on my head. I as saved from a major head injury. Thanks to the helmet.

Wearing a helmet is something that I don't like a lot. But if travelling on a route with heavy traffic I always wear it. I always prefer a small and light weighted helmet . A heavy helmet always makes me end up with pain in my neck and shoulders

I don't use bicycle, but I use two vehicle motor cycle in city area. And yes I am wearing helmet regularly. It is true that it is good for safety, but I never like them. I always feel uncomfortable in it. Though now I am getting used to of it. But I will enjoy bike riding without any helmet which I guess now is not possible.
