A good friend of mine is an ER nurse who says anyone who doesn't wear a bike helmet should at least be an organ donor so someone else can benefit when they crash.

I'm not one for making more and more laws...pretty soon, I think it's going to be illegal to eat while driving a car in California. So I'm not sure where I stand when it comes to making helmet use the law. But, based on the fact that in my 3 short months of riding, I've already hit my head on the pavement once and have almost been hit by cars twice, including once just this morning, there is no way I'm riding anywhere without that thing on my head!
