Helmets are not required in Texas, I always wear my helmet, period. I was going to go from one side of a parking lot to the other a couple of days ago, I was going to lunch at a place that was a little further than I wanted to walk, and I forgot my helmet inside, I briefly considered not wearing my helmet. I went back inside and retrieved my helmet, rather than crossing the parking lot without it. It just did not feel right.
I will skip the gloves and jacket during the dog days of summer, simply because I rationalize that a heat stroke on the bike would be fatal regardless of gear. But I do not take chances with the hat.
