I feel naked with out my helmet and nor would I drive with out it. Now, since I have almost no hair (partially on purpose) my sweat comes down fast, so I have to wear a cloth skull cap. Helps a lot with keeping the sweat out of my eye's.
In Ontario and Quebec, there is a rule that mandates all kids under 16 years of age to have to wear a helmet with any bike and all people driving an electric bike has to wear one also.
I've seen a helmet save more then one skull in my time and I've seen some skulls caved in, due to the lack of a helmet. So why are SO many people still driving with out a helmet...
Lessons Learned:
- Always wear a helmet!
I always wear mine. Thinking of getting a couple more so I don't have to wash one so often.
ReplyDeleteI'm visiting a province where helmets are mandatory. I prefer not having it mandatory though, people who don't wear helmets tend to be a "self-correcting problem." :D
Was thinking of getting another one that has a retractable sunglass visor vs. wearing glass's but I haven't found one that fits nice on my 18" head.
