dont worry about looking like a prat - wear a helmet and you might consider a mountain bike full-face style as the standard type doesn't stop you injuring your face as i discovered when i got thumped off my bike in central London and had my front teeth broken. 10 years on the injury still *haunts* me; caps don't last forever, there's the ever present risk what's left of the roots will fail resulting in my having to have implants (not the silicone variety) and the colour never really matches exactly.
For the sake of wearing a full-face helmet for the 45 minutes i was riding that day i could have spared myself all the agg.. and that was just a 'cosmetic' injury, a more serious 'head' injury would reach far deeper and far longer in to your life - assuming you survived that is.

Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."
