I literally could believe what I was seeing when I rode into London this morning from Greenwich - a guy on a road bike with absolutely no head or hand protection whatsoever along in reasonably heavy snow/slush!
I hope he's got good medical insurance because he's going to need it if he continues to ride in these conditions like that!

Nee naw, nee naw! ;-)
Generally I don't really care - helment or no helmet! But in this weather it's just plain common sense to wear one, especially if you're riding a road bike.2011 Yeti ASR5 carbon: http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/5817307/

Saw a bloke on a BSO riding along one handed (without a helmet) and an umbrella in the other hand this morning. Personally if I'm riding over snow/ice I'd like to have both hands on the bars for better control.Bianchi Via Nirone Veloce/Centaur 20100
