I have gotten comfortable with short slow rides close to home, on very hot days without one. I ride much differently and make different choices than I would if I was wearing one-- none of that "vehicular" stuff.
Plenty of people on bikes around my neighborhood, almost none with a helmet . . . not sure who I'd be apologizing to. I remember the first few times I rode without one-- the first might have been at the Pride Parade two years ago-- I was on a stubby bike riding slowly pulling a heavy sound trailer and not tolerating the heat (due to my neck injury)-- I felt kind of like you described.
Ha!
While I am sort of with you being a helmet less rider and all, I can't help but to think of the head injuries that occur in low speed crashes, or at least the possibility of.
I felt a tad naked today as I forgot to wear underwear and to XYZ(or XMZ in this case)before I left the house.
