If you don't have a helmet there's something wrong with you, or soon will be.
I neglected to wear mine ONCE many years ago. Ended up in the ER. You know you're in trouble when the the ER guy with a scope in your ear says to the other medical technician, "Hey, Joe, come look at this. I've never seen one of these before!".
Take it easy. Bike handling skills take some time to develop or relearn. Your ability to balance gets a little worse as you get older. Shoes with cleats are much easier to manage than toe clips, but either one takes time to learn. Riding without them is much more difficult and less efficient.
