Wear helmets folks →

I’m not one to tell others how to raise their children (at least not in recorded form,) however this is one of those issues. Make sure your kids always wear helmets whenever they’re on a bike. Even if you have the best behaved kids who will never leave the sidewalk in front of your house, make sure they are always wearing a helmet. Head injuries are serious business, even when they’re not caused by cars running over one’s head, and helmets are a very easy way to reduce the risk of head injuries.

Even if it doesn’t save their life in the case of a freak accident like this story, it will lead your children to wear helmets without thinking later in life, and helmets are like seat belts, you should wear them all of the time because you never know when you’re actually going to need them, and by the time you do know, it’s too late.

And for those followers who don’t have kids (and those of you who do), wear a helmet every time you ride a bike.
