It's kind of like you've been a bachelor your whole life, hair blowing in the breeze, enjoying life. Until one day you realize you should really find a partner to get you through this crazy life, no one wants to die young and alone of course. We all need someone to make us feel safe. And like buying a bike helmet you conceded to the thought, feeling like your style has been cramped a little but knowing that in the long run and for the sake of your mother's sanity you are better off.
This is how I feel about you bike helmet.
