Good fit will ensure best possible impact load spreading, which is a lot
of how lids work. Beyond that, they will be less uncomfortable if the
fit is good, and helmets, and heads, come in different shapes so (as
with shoes) best have them matching for minimum discomfort.
It remains the case that wearing a crash helmet is no more relevant for
a [non sportive] cyclist than a pedestrian or car occupant or kid
playing in a park, but if in spite of that you do want to wear one I
don't actually want to /stop/ you, and I want it to work as well as
possible and that goes for general wear as well as head-planting on hard
stuff.
