I agree about the bike paths. I do feel safer on the road, even with the weight and speed of the cars. At least most of them are somewhat predictable. The short ride from my office on campus out to the roads is pretty scary. Getting honked at and flipped off when I finally get to take a lane is a kind of relief, really...

If you were knocked out with a helmet, I can't imagine how bad things would have been without out it. I'm glad you came out okay. Dust devils sound pretty scary. I think if I lived in Texas I'd wear a helmet all day long - bike or not! Wow – that’s pretty amazing!

You know of course that your helmet is now toast. Inattentive bikers and walkers make the trails as dangerous as the roads sometimes. If you say "On your left" for the third tiime with any edge to your voice they look at you like you're the problem. Glad to hear you’re fine. You know of course that your helmet is now toast.

However a head injury is something completly else, your brain is your personality soul and master control. Always protect your head. I used to think i could control my head in a crash until one day on the way to work I lowsided my bike around a corner. I smacked the side of my head on the ground hard enough that it put me back into a sitting position. Thankfully I had a helmet. I was able to go to work that day with only a bit of gravel rash. No helmet may have meant I could never work again. You can lead a long, happy and successful life with many types of impairments.
