[Closed] How do you deal with folk not wearing a helmet?

I sympathise with the discomfort - I've taken a few people out on my local trails and no-one's allowed to come without a helmet. Absolutely your choice as to whether you wear one or not when you're on your own, but if i'm taking you somewhere you've not been before then I feel it's my responsibility - to tell you what you're about to ride down, point out any bits that can cause trouble, all that. So no helmet, no ride.

A mate's brother lives opposite me and is a no-helmet kinda guy. I just refuse to go riding with him unless it's mild until he sorts it out. He likes to go out with no tools, spares, water and having just downed a pint of coffee. Bless 'im

The fact he goes out without tools and spares would concern me more than him not wearing a helmet!
