Why has my neighbors kid been wearing a bicycle helmet for the past 8 years?

Q. is he retarded or something. I did see him stick his tongue in a fan the other day, and he is about 12 years old.

Answer
Can you believe the lack of care some parents provide. Helmet? Just a helmet? WHERE"S the face mask? Good grief, if we are to allow the "special" kids to gambol about without a leash, they should at least be armored.

do you make your kids wear bicycle helmets when they're out riding in the neighborhood?

Q. We never wore helmets when I was a kid riding in the neighborhood. Every bicycle forum I go to ends with some kind of reminder to "always wear your helmet". I find this nanny mentality disturbing. Just wondering if kids are forced to ride around in the neighborhood these days with helmets? Maybe kids don't ride around in the neighborhood like we used to do.. idk.

Answer
no don't make them wear helmets...let them be KIDS

Did you wear a bicycle helmet as a kid?

Summertime

I can not count the number of times as a kid I flew over my handle bars on my bike, and walked it home bloody knees and all...I have the scars to prove it.

I was not overly clumbsy, just a country girl that rode my bike most everywere.

I never wore a helmet or knee/elbow pads. But I see these kids now days that are wearing every protective gear short of being wrapped in bubble wrap and I wonder ...

will they have scar to show off when they grow up? isn't that just a part of childhood?

I understand the helmet for those that live in the city with ashphalt and speeding cars...but sometimes I think we overprotect our kids.

so..did you wear a helmet to ride you bike?
and do you make you kids wear one now?
I too do not think there were helmets when I was a kid, and I am not saying they are not needed, especially in the city...i was just curious as to who worn them and if their kids where them.

My 4 year old daughter has a couple of them for when she rides with Papa on the 4 wheeler (he drives really slow, but I still prefer her to wear it.)

Answer
Yes I wore a helmet. Scars are an inevitable part of childhood but massive hemorrhaging of the brain doesn't have to be. What, you think there are no trees or rocks out in the country you could whack your head on while flying over the handlebars?

Parents of kids/teens that ride bicycles: Helmets?

.

If you and your kids/teens ride bicycles, do you wear helmets? Do your kids/teens wear helmets? Do you not care if they wear a helmet or not?

Thanks! I'm 16, and I would wear a helmet no matter what, but my friends don't because they say it looks ugly, but a girl who was 15 recently died from just riding casually on her neighborhood street (no cars) fell down without a helmet on and died from internal bleeding.

Answer
I always wear a helmet and make my kids wear helmets. In my state kids under sixteen legally have to wear helmets or the parent can get cited. It may be unfashionable safety is more important.

How can you legally travel on a 50cc scooter with a toddler?

bicycle helmets kids image

jeff_rulz_

It is legal in Missouri to drive without a license or helmet on a 50cc scooter and I would like to purchase one to cruise around town. However, I am concerned about how much I would use it. I would use it more frequently if I could legally carry my 3 year old with me. Just curious if it's legal and what I should get to protect him (other than a bicycle helmet).

Thanks!

Answer
A bicycle helmet will do NO good.
3 years simply isn't big enough.

I'm all for kids riding, my son sat behind me at 6. There are minimum requirements, even if not written into law (they are law elsewhere): Dedicated seat for passenger, dedicated footrest for passenger (which they must be able to use), handhold(s) for passenger. Helmet - and a styrofoam cooler is for beer, not pavement.
The passenger must be large enough (and understand enough) to be able to hold on. The helmet must fit properly - good luck finding a hat for the little melon.

I added an extra set of pegs for Jr. The law said he must reach, did not specify must be in original location.

How to get rid of a magpie?

That Guy

I live in New South Wales, Australia. There is this magpie in my street that attacks anybody that walks down the street. My neighbour's kids' bicycle helmets have multiple dents in them from the magpie pecking them. I have heard of at least two times where the magpie has pecked somebody not wearing a helmet, and caused blood.

What can I do about this as it appears to get worse each mating season?

Answer
I had the same problem at my old house. All you do is try to hit them with a stick and they will sometimes try not swoop you so much. Once the breeding season is over you should have no trouble at all. At my new house we have no problem at all with the magpies they are really friendly (they eat bread from your hand). I live in Queensland, Australia.
