That street looks really dangerous. Not even the sidewalk looks all that safe (so many driveways...). Is there really no other option?
I try to wear my helmet on longer bike rides, but I often end up riding Divvy bikes without my helmet since I don't always carry it around (it's awkward to carry on my backpack). Usually I'm going across a park so it's mostly not on street, but I wish I had a better solution. Those foldup helmets are really expensive...
