My son got a Strider bicycle from his grandparents complete with helmet. The bicycle hasn't gotten here yet, but the helmet did. I put it on him to see if it would fit and he flat out refused to take it off and immediately wanted to go outside and get on his tricycle. Now mind you, this tricycle has the parent steering handle and my son is only 21 months and can't even pedal yet. He wanted to go all over the neighborhood on his tricycle wearing his helmet. As a parent, how many of you would have driven by and thought of me as the extremely overprotective parent who made her son wear a helmet on a tricycle that he wasn't even controlling?
V - you obviously haven't see my son go full speed down our sloped driveway on his riding toys...it's just to protect him from himself, not from some random car or bus that may just happen to drive by. I don't want my son to hit his head enough times to become stupid. I deal with stupid way too much.
V - stupid people just like being stupid because they don't know any better!

Once I saw one of my neighbours strolling down the street with her then-four-year-old on a dog's leash. Neighbour was a touch embarrassed. "She insisted on it!"
I said, "I figured..." Anyone else with a toddler will assume it was in line with having to wear the rain boots on a sunny summer day; anyone without a toddler will assume it's the norm.
And it is increasingly the norm. My tricycler wears a helmet because helmets are the law for bicycling children here, and I didn't want to have to have the first bicycle come with a "And now you need to do this..." unpleasant surprise. You pedal -- you wear a helmet -- simple and no-fuss.

Riding a motorcycle is unsafe, even with a helmet
Lois Griff
People in cars have to wear seatbelts...........you should have to wear helmets.
But even with a helmet, motorcycles are very unsafe......if you crash, your body can go flying. How wreckless.
Regular, non-motor bikes are very beneficial and serve as healthy exercise....but still wreckless to ride them without a helmet.
Why don't you people wear helmets? Do you not mind if your head gets busted open?
Answer
You are right, motorcycles are unsafe. Some other things that are unsafe: sex, airplanes, elevators, earthquakes, sharks, boats, ocean, trains, wilderness, cars, dogs, bicycles, skateboards, drugs, running. Now if you check statistics you'll find motorcycling doesn't need you attention as much as many other things. Sex causes more injury and death that motorcycles ever could, perhaps you should spend your efforts to fix sex. What do you care if someone busts their head open, does it somehow effect your life OR does your life suck and you choose to harass people about wearing a helmet cause it makes you feel better. If you just want to help people then I'd suggest doing something about the terrible drivers that choose to crash into people with motorcycles, if they are hard at seeing then maybe they shouldn't drive, fix that if you want to make a difference. By the way, I wear a helmet and I know it's not up to me if other people do. Maybe make a deal with some non helmet wearers, You'll do what they tell you to do if they do what you want.
