I used to not wear a helmet, then my kids got into riding. I would tell them to put a helmet on and they would tell me to put mine on. It made sense, so i started to wear one all the time to show them and there friends by example. This pic is a reminder of what happens without a helmet, you fall hit your head, don't know where you are, how you got there, or where you need to go. I have been fortunate, all this talk about you look stupid with a helmet or helmets aren't cool pisses me off. We ride little kids bikes, so we look stupid to the majority of society anyway, at least with a helmet we can look stupid and responsible at the same time. I don't care what people think, but I do care what my family thinks. I wear a helmet all the time now. I wish more people would wear them, it just seems stupid not too. The latest issue of DIG had a article in it regarding this issue motivating me to write this....... Van the man Homen said it best......"I'm wearing a helmet more for the people who love me."
