But siiiiix, don't you realize anything could happen? A flying middle aged "let me speak with your manager!"- type of woman (you know the type, slow blonde hair a bit standing up at the back, lotsa makeup, fit and has a polkadot shirt on) could materialize inbetween your spokes while you're still on your driveway going slowly and you could definitely fly headfirst under the wheels of a passing UPS truck. Helmets save lives people.
