bicycle helmets children image
DevilsAdvo
My husband and I never wore them as a child (nor any of our siblings and friends)and we all turned out fine.
For the ones that make their children wear them, do you wear them too?
I'm not against it. We had a discussion about it with some other parents and wanted to know other people's opinions. We found that a lot of the parents that make their children wear them, won't wear them because they're "dorky".
Answer
Haha. I Never wore helmets for anything when I was a child. Dirt bikes, quads, whatever. A bicycle was the least of my parents worries. I will not make my child wear a helmet. If he wants to fine, but I will not force him. I think it would be completely hypocritical to make him. Honestly what is a little half helmet going to protect if he gets hit by a car? Not a damn thing. Or if he falls on his face? Again, it will protect nothing.

How can I get my husband to wear a helmet?

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.
