bike helmets for 3-4 year olds image
JuliaShort
My mom is a nurse and doing a presentation on bicycle safety. (Wearing a helmet, etc...) We are already projecting pictures and my mom is doing a plastic-egg-filled-with-jelly drop as an example of someone not wearing their helmet and falling off their bike. She's also giving out coloring books to the younger ones. She's teaching two groups: 7th/8th graders and around 3rd/4th graders. Do you have any ideas on how to grab their attention and to make it more interesting? Thanks a bunch!

Make it funny...include funny stuff in between the important messages. Nothing bores people more than a well-intended lecturer presenting morbid facts and examples...like the "look at these lungs" presentations to discourage smoking. If it bores adults, it will put kids to sleep! I taught girl scouts/brownies about horse care years ago. I invented a cartoon horse, drew cartoons on large poster boards, and included the important information in a story line. Those kids are now adults and when I run into them on occasion, every one of them talks about the adventures of "Dobbin" and how much they learned. Most importantly, they actually followed the precautions and still remembered them years later. My presentations were targeting girls around 10 years old, give or take (can't remember exactly). If I were your mom, I'd draw a face on the egg, name it, make a body and bike for it, and create a story line that is 50% funny and 50% facts. For 3rd and 4th graders I'd include their issues; for 7th and 8th graders I'd create a different story line...more teen issues. Maybe give the egg a cool hairdo...even a fan blowing it "in the wind" before the fall. Develop an introduction that prepares them to be bored...then shock them with funny and keep rolling. I'm also a nurse...and a very funny but effective college instructor...humor always worked for me, and my students actually enjoyed learning!

Learning how to ride a motorcycle?
DatGuy
I've never been on a motorcycle. What steps should I take to properly learn how to ride a motorcycle?
Answer
it's sorta like a bike.
with help.
and more stuff to keep track of.
and falling down hurts way more.
my first thought is, don't.
they're extraordinarily dangerous.
one friend i had id now dead.
not his fault fault.
drunk came onto his side of the road and killed him.
left a 5 year old daughter without a dad.
another has only 1 leg left.
another almost died, and his wife, a nurse, made him promise never to ride again.
many years ago, i remember standing at an intersection.
light turned, and a bike coming down the street didn't have to stop.
but a car ran the light, and the motorcyclist ran into the side of the car.
i remember him laying down holding his helmet (couldn't get to his head) saying, "Oh my head hurts. Why did he run the light. My head hurts."
know what nurses call motorcyclists that don't wear helmets? organ donors.
they're fun --- lots of fun.
i used to ride off-road some. even better.
at least you only have trees aiming at you.
bull fighting might be lots of fun too.
i ain't about to find out.
i did ride a little, and still take the test, so I'm legal in Calif.
but last time i rode was more than 10 years ago, and only a couple miles to see if i still could.
get a small bike, maybe 125 cc or so.
they're just easier.
keep in mind, drivers talking on cell phones won't see you.
you might as well be riding around in a shooting gallery.
rip.
EDIT: concerning using the front brake. it should be used. it's not a decoration. 60-70% of your braking comes from the front brake. if you lock up the back brake, you'll skid just as bad. learn to use them together. (or, find yourself a nice safe car :)
one more thing occurs to me. some people are just better at it. i have a friend who really likes to ride. he had 3-4 really serious accidents. more than once i went and picked him up at the hospital. one time he scraped along the top of the railing on the upper level of a freeway overpass. several stories. up. he now has a car. and probably will never ride a bike again. (thank you lord.)
i do know what I'm talking about. skiing is fun. skate boarding is fun. riding a bicycle is fun. riding a motorcycle is fun. riding a motorcycle is just far, far more dangerous. my general take is, if you're dead, it's over. it might'a hurt a lot, but it's over. if you have to go through the rest of your life on one leg, that'd be different. i have another friend that almost did that. good rider, been riding for years. came around a curve and faced 2 trucks, one trying to pass the other. on a 2 lane country road. fell down and slid between them. one foot got run over. the only reason he still has the foot is because there was an army surgeon who patched the bones up kind of funny - there's a bump on his ankle where it shouldn't be. but he still has his foot. and i note he uses his car a lot more these days. i suspect that he really likes his bike, but just realizes more how close he came to having only 1 foot.
