Is there such a thing as a /fa/ bycicle helmet?

I'd ride without it, but I know some accidents can't be prevented and I would like to keep my skull in one piece if that ever happens.

I don't mind something techwearish, but please show me the ways of not looking a goofus down syndrome kid going to the park with his mother.

I once had a bicycle accident. Was in hospital for 4 weeks. Severe concussion, fractured face, burns on my body, fractured spine and shit. They told me I'd be dead twice without helmet. Fortunately I wore a helmet and I'm perfectly fine now except for a few scars on my face. So, always wear a helmet, you're doing the right thing.

The point that we should discuss is not if wearing a helmet should be mandatory, to each their own perception of safety and responsibility.

Lel, everyone grows up riding bikes, so when they start driving cars they know to watch out for cyclists. In addition to that the infrastructure is adapted to make it as safe as possible for cars and cyclists.
So yeah, everybody grows up riding bikes. The only time you will fall is when you ride your bike when you're shitfaced or when it's icy.
If you're in full spandex and shit or mountainbiking, then yeah, wear a helmet because you're travelling at higher speeds.
If you manage to fall during cycling on your regular commute you are absolute mongoloid.
