Wear your bike helmets!!

[joenali]

I have a friend who is a great cyclist and was out with her mother in law out on the Burke Gilman trail for a fun and easy going ride. I'm not sure what happened but she fell and hit her head and ended up in the neuro ICU with a brain bleed. She is able to go home today because she is stable.

Her helmet saved her life!

I see people all the time who don't wear helmets and it drives me crazy. I saw the most assinine thing yesterday: mom and dad not wearing helmets carting their two kids in a trailer who had helmets on. Mom and dad's heads are important too!!

Wear your helmets and be safe out there!

To me, biking without a helmet feels as awkward as driving without the seatbelt on. It makes me feel almost naked.

this! and my h makes fun of me, and it's annoying. i believe in 100% helmet compliance! i went to school with a girl who hurt herself while not wearing a helmet..and she was....some sort of paralyzed (i don't remember, we were really young)...
