Wearing a helmet ruins my hair...

Very powerful images. I'm sharing this with my helmet wearing cyclist friends.

Do me favor? Share this with some non-helmet wearing friends too!

I'm thinking about emailing this to DH at his work E. I religiously make the kids wear their helmets. I preach to him, but it falls on deaf ears.

I absolutely hate hats of any kind. Wearing a hat, aka helmet, to ride was a new one to me. Kids never wore em in my old neighborhood. But, hat hater or not, I never ride without my helmet. DH just makes fun of how it looks.

Those pics are quite moving. People always think that things just happen to others, not them.

I wish I knew the E of a very good gym bud of mine that's a roadie. Last I saw him on his old vintage bike he road to the gym, he went to saddle up to leave, guess what... NO HELMET! I said, "OMG! You have GOT to be kidding me???".

I told him I hated hats. He started to chime in thinking that I did not wear a helmet, hoping for non-helmet wearing support... I quickly corrected the misgiving. He said, "Well, I wear one to race... but just on the city ride to the gym, I don't need one...". ...with that look on my face, he stoomped off, saddled up, and rode away. I still can not believe he does not wear one. Professionally, he is quite a brilliant man. Well, for now as long as his brain is not smooshed in the street. Yikes.
