Glad I wear a helmet...

I'm glad you wear a helmet, too!!!

If you have a good relationship with your LBS, you might consider letting them have your old helmet for just the purpose you describe - it'll reach more people there. My LBS still has the helmet I crashed in 22 years ago.

Great idea. I haven't heard of any bicycle outreach to kids in our city, so the LBS would be a good place for it to be. I will miss it, it was a cute, pink, surfer print on it.

I think Giro still makes the Skyla in the pink/goldish flower print. You may be able to find an identical replacement.

Glad you are ok!

I join the rest......I'm glad you wore your helmet. My crash helmet is in the LBS also for all to view who don't think they need a helmet....and it's not just children, there are a lot of adults who don't think they need to wear one either. My crash made me a firm believer and I won't even think of getting on my bike without it. By the way, Trek replaced my helmet---free of charge. If yours is a trek, you might want to write the company and send them pics. You might get a new helmet.

Drives me nuts when I see families out riding and the kids have helmets, but not the parents. All this tells kids is that adults never make mistakes or are prone to accidents. And if such a situation were to arise those kids could end up losing a parent right before their eyes. Why would anyone ever take such a potentially tragic risk?

So glad your helmet did its job today!
