daily bike rant... helmet or no helmet?

So i've been cycling for the past couple months without a helmet... and i mean I hate wearing helmets as they make your head even more sweaty than it'll already be cycling hard.. but i do ride a whole lot more now and for longer distances too. I've been calculating my average speed through town, and it's around 22 mph(that's including traffic lights, so it's actually probably a faster mph) so it can get scary at times.. hmm but on the other hand.. if i were to get hit by a car going at that speed, i'm guessing the damage would be similar in either situation whether i have a helmet or not... i see many experienced fixed gear riders ride helmet-less, and i'm guessing their experience riding fixed allows them to predict traffic patterns and find a better flow through roads. hmm I probably wont get one anytime soon, but i'm thinking about it, and maybe i'll pick one up eventually just "in case"... oh and now i gotta post a pic up cuz blog posts are boring without pictures..
here was us chillen at lake eola during the orlando food and lifestyle festival, or whatever it's called.. =p
