Bicycle Injuries
To follow up yesterday's post, Reuters published an artice revealing the number injuries sustained by kids falling off bikes. I commented yesterday on how in days of (my) youth, helmets were never worn and how the times have changed to make helmets fashionable apparel. Read the full story here.
Tim;
Thanks for posting this article. You and I are in the same boat having grown up in the "bad old days" before helemts were worn by kids riding bikes. My broken jaw after a bike fall in the second grade and my brother's skull fracture after a skateboard fall a couple of years later are testaments to our stupidity. My daughters, on the other hand, won't ride a bike without a helmet. In the words of Dr. Smith: "Wear a helmet! Wear a helmet! Wear a helmet." Keep up the good work.
