Full face helmet on city ride with MTB?

Luka

So, I decided to get a new FF helmet from 661. And I as am wondering, is it good to wear it on a city ride?

First off all, I go to dirt jumping (DJ) and street with a hardtail.
When I am out of energy, I go ride in the city, to a forest.
When I am in city, is it good to wear FF helmet?
I have a feeling that people gonna look at me strangely.
What's your opinion?

BTW, I am scared of those idiotic car drivers who thinks that they are on top of the world with their cars...


Cheers.

For a city ride i would definatley use a normal all round helmet, either a bmx one; like this: http://www.google.com/imgres?um=1&hl=en&tbo=d&biw=1280&bih=631&tbm=isch&tbnid=cyH0HOjLQCwu2M:&imgrefurl=http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/p/7146/fox-rockstar-transition-bmx-helmet&docid=pHmXYsJm2c0psM&imgurl=http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/content/images/thumbs/0011659_fox_rockstar_transition_bmx_helmet.jpeg&w=1070&h=1280&ei=-8fmUO6UKoWm0QWHp4HoDQ&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=2&vpy=98&dur=3424&hovh=246&hovw=205&tx=90&ty=127&sig=113964576930624334189&page=1&tbnh=137&tbnw=114&start=0&ndsp=22&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:88

Or a normal cycling helmet like this:

You only really need a full face helmet when doing dirt jumps or something that you know could be quite dangerous.
Hope this helps!;)

Answer
It doesn't matter what someone else likes, it matters what you like.

I actually like solid colors and don't like multi-colored racing clothing. But, I'm old school, I wear solid black and gray from my helmet to my boots.

The clothing colors do match the bike colors, so if that is what you were going for, you will match.
