Most of the time I do, yeah. If I don't, I don't have the confidence to
ride my best for fear of getting hurt which I'm sure's a good thing.

I feel the same way. Without protection I'm like :o
And with protection, I'm have more confidence, I'm never afraid of
bailing, except for my shins and my calfs (I don't have pads yet)

Why not? You should try wearing a lot of protection. It helps doing
trick.

I never wear a helmet.
The only pads that I wear are shin/knee pads. They help with building
confidence, mostly when I am doing something that involves taking my
feet off of the pedals.

I barely ever wear a helmet due to the fact that I can not find a helmet
large enough to properly fit my XL head plus dreads. When snowmobiling
a XXXL helmet still gives me headaches. If we need to wear helmets for
Ride The Lobster I will probably cut my hair.

Yeah, but sometimes when I am on a nice bike path I don't. Especially
when it's really hot and I'm on the bike path. My helmet is getting to
small though, I need a new one soon.

I always wear a helmet, shinguards and gloves in the winter(when doing
street and trials, not when riding somewhere). Now it's summer and I
don't even wear a T-shirt, it's so hot.
Hot summer weather is about six months down here, so I guess I wear my
helmet half of the time.

When I am riding on the road or Cross Country I never wear a helmet.
When I am riding Muni or Trials I always wear a helmet, Shin and Knee
