Glad you made out ok. IME group rides through city streets need better intersection control. They're dangerous enough riding solo

Glad you recovered and doing well.
I always wear a lid , it is mandatory in Australia , but would anywhere anyway . Been catapulted by cars into hard things to know .....Spending your hard earned on a good helmet is always a good investment .
Glad you are back up and at it. Good advice thanks for that.
Yes, but a GOOD helmet. Spend some money on it.
And if you have a ten dollar head, wear a ten dollar helmet . . .

I read his post several times and he is that cop that was escorting the group and hit the car.
He even says: “I hit him....”

i may should have explained better. it was me. I am a Motor Officer here in Dayton Ohio. I dont usually get into my work but this accident and the visual lesson learned from it was too important to me not to share with the people that share the same passion as I do. And thanks for the good wishes.
Wow, I had no idea you'd had this happen! That could have been so much worse, and all we can do is wear the gear for all of those "didn't see it coming" moments. I went down almost a year ago, just one of those things...nearly every bit of impact on me was to my helmet, along one side where my face was being protected. Every time I look at that lid, I think to myself just how minor the whole incident was vs. how bad it would have been had I been wearing a half-helmet, or no helmet at all. I would have left my face on the pavement.
To each his/her own, but you don't care about that lid until you go down. That's the only time it'll matter.

I'm glad your still here to remind those that choose to ride without - that it can make a big difference.
I for one don't want to eat bugs and the wind noise has got be be greater without a helmet.
But we all have to make decisions every day and I can't control anyone but me.

I always cringe when I see someone riding without a helmet. One of the excuses I hear people use is that it is to hot wearing one. I always tell them that I have yet to have sweat soaked hair even on a 90°+ day, good helmets are surprising well ventilated.
I'm glad you made it through your crash ok for what happened
