I once saw a cyclist on University Avenue (in Toronto; a very busy street) with no helmet, not holding onto the handlebars, and texting. I think he may have been wearing flip-flops too, but don't quite remember.

For what it's worth, the fatal bike accident I witnessed the immediate aftermath of was also on University Avenue in Toronto. Guy got doored by a car, fell into traffic, and a bus ran over him. He wasn't wearing a helmet either, but it probably wouldn't have saved him.

(I also witnessed a serious bike accident at the intersection of Broadview and Dundas, but never heard what happened to the guy. He wasn't wearing a helmet either and landed headfirst into the road...there was blood everywhere, it was awful. For these reasons I always wear a helmet and am very cautious about where I bike).
