bicycle helmets good or bad image
trisha
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.

Can you give some tips about riding my bike in Austin-Texas?
secret
I am a 25 years old woman, and would like to take my bike for rides around my neighboor and go errands around. I would like some tips or warnings what could do to be safe and do the right things here in Texas.
I cannot take a drive licences, because I don't have rights so I want to stick with my bicycle!
Answer
Use a bicycle helmet, wear bright colors, get a basket for carrying things, take a good lock and lock both wheels and lock it to something strong, follow the same rules that cars have to use, don't trust any cars to wait at stop signs, wear crash gloves, make sure your bike is in good condition-good brakes. Do not ride the wrong way against the traffic flow. Take the less busy side roads even if it is longer distance to go somewhere.Be alert for broken glass and bad holes in the road. Watch out for everyone all the time.Ride with a friend if you can. Do not ride after dark because you will be invisible! Start keeping a record of your distances traveling. Go to the library and read everything you can find about biking. It is a great way to travel just stay alert all the time like a bird does.
