Hmm. I don't have kids, but aren't people required by law to put a helmet on a baby's or child's head? At least in some states?

I'm guessing not here in MI, since helmets are rare.

Oh, and it's starting to get dark and she had no lights of any sort, so she'd likely not be terribly visible to cars, either.

If I'd been outside I would have yelled at her and had her stop so that I could give her my son's outgrown helmet.

She probably would not have taken it. Most people don't like the insinuation that they are doing something wrong. I've found.

True, unfortunately.

Is it bad if the first thought that popped into my head was, "natural selection"?

Yeah...I had all but one class necessary for a minor in Anthro. That thought had come to my mind, as well.

Things like this make me super sad that I'm all for preserving the right to breed.

This drives me nuts on the trail. I don't think Ohio requires that children wear helmets (but then, this isn't something I pay much attention to, seeing as I don't have children). Several of the communities around me, though, do have helmet laws. And yet I still see people and their children with no helmets in sight. At least put a helmet on the kid!

Today I was riding saw a bike on the other side of a busy road young child in seat in front of mom helmet on,mom had no helmet,2 kids in trailer being pulled behind no helmets. I guess if they crash one of them will be ok. No helmet= a huge pet peeve!I. Have been known to say something on occasion but usually get blank looks.
