Congrats on the bike!
While visiting Stanley park, we bought helmets because of that law, but I saw a whole bunch of people with helmets on our ride.

Nice ride.

I'd just wear the lid. Spend $80 or more and you'll love the helmet. (No really - there's like 3 price categories, cheap, not so cheap, and expensive .. The $80 mark seems to be the beginning of the middle category and the feel and comfort really is there.)

Thanks guys

I'm enjoying it loads. Computer says I've put just over 150 km's on the few days I rode it. Having not ridden for a while, my legs are surprisingly fine but my crotch/butt area is killing me!

Interesting to know it's actually illegal with no helmet. I wonder if it's BC wide or just Vancouver (I see loads of people riding without helmets out in the Valley).

I usually do wear a lid, but didn't think to bring one with me bike shopping until one store told me I shouldn't go more than a few hundred yards without one.

Wearing a helmet has saved my head a couple of times. My last helmet is crushed, glad it wasn't my head.
Always wear a helmet, law or not. But yes, it's a BC wide law.

Congrats on the new bike, now we need a pool to bet on when the Madone gets bought
