bike helmets for 7 year olds image
trisha
I'm trying to get my husband to start wearing a helmet because our 7 year old just learned how to ride and they bike together but I think he's setting a bad example for our son who is required to wear a helmet. My husband is 28 and he grew up biking without one and refuses to start using one. Why do guys not like wearing helmets?
Answer
Good for him. Helmets suck.

Our 7 year old just learned how to ride a bike so they go biking together and I think my husband is setting a bad example by not wearing one. He's 28 and grew up without wearing helmets and has always refused to use one when I've asked.
Answer
First off he does not want anyone telling him to wear a helmet. Male pride gets in the way everytime.
Ask him if he will wear one for the child and don't tell him too. They make some really cool helmets these days so he would not have a problem finding one to fit his personality. Flames - colors - designs etc...
The fact is, there is way more traffic these days than when he was growing up. It is not a testament to his riding abilities or the cool factor he needs to be concerned with, it is all the idiot drivers out there which he cannot control. This is why he should wear one.
Maybe if you present it in such a way as not to degrade him or his manhood, he would be more likely to do it. Let him know you are concerned for the child and the example he is setting for him.
I assure you, the more you push it the less likely it will happen! Be methodical in your approach. Find statistics on bicycle accidents in your area and present them to him in a way that demonstrates the stupidity of those around him. Let him know you are not concerned with his actions but the actions of others which may cause him to crash or be run over.
