Is It Necessary To Wear A Bike Helmet When Commuting To Work?
In addition, I only ever ride my bicycle on the pavement/side walk shared by pedestrians; the only time I go on the road is when cross the lights for pedestrians.
Is it really necessary for commuters to wear a bike helmet. I just find it unnecessary to wear helmets on the street because the chances of collision and injury are a lot less than on the road, and I question the compulsory bike helmet laws.
If wearing helmets is mandatory, why don’t we make the inclusion of airbags mandatory for all cars as well then?

It really comes down to your own decission wether you think you will be able to survive the unknown that maybe lurking around the corner , such as an out of control garbage truck that has jumped the footpath and is heading straight for you, with a helmet your chances for head injury are greatly reduced. For example i have a motorcycle licence but i would never ride in the traffic as i have seen too many of them that have been killed, and they got on their bikes just before their accidents thinking it won’t happen to me! . what will change you mind about helmets is to take a look on some of those shock web sites and see what people look like after not wearing a helmet , i have listed one below WARNING EXTREEMLY GRAPHIC.
well as i read it you answered your own question. you said( the compulsory bike helmet laws. and if wearing helmets is mandatory ) so i would say it is necessary. You may not agree with it but you can always walk if you don’t like wearing a helmet.
I say its better to have crack in the helmet then hole in your head
it doesnt hurt
I did have a run in with a car
a car pulled out in front of me my helmet hit the car not my head
in most states or cities you can fall off it any where and then bike helmet would help your head i rode one for about 25 year think hurt my head once maybe i dont remember they didnt have bike helmets then
