I am sitting in my apartment, looking at a bike that Nell lent me and wondering if I should start my own bike experiment. Need a helmet. Pretty sure I need one of those.

you should totally do it. it's changed my life, in a tangible and beneficial way. helmets are like $30-70. after nearly a year of riding, i just got one. it was $40 off amazon.
