Wear a helmet "PLS WEAR IT"

WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF YOU HAD A BIKE CRASH AND WEREN'T WEARING A HELMET?

"You could be paralyzed, killed, or you could suffer damage."

"You could bust your head open on the sidewalk or a rock."

"You could go into a coma."

"You could break your neck or crack your head.

"You could have serious brain damage and you might have to learn all you know over again."

FACTS

You may think you're a pretty good biker, but crashes happen all the time to very good riders. In fact:


Wearing a bike helmet is the single most important thing you can do to protect your brain - and your like - when you ride your bike.

Children between ages 5 and 14 have the highest rate of injury of all bicycle riders.

Each year, more than 500,000 children go to hospital emergency rooms or doctors' offices due to bicycle injuries.

More than half of these collisions happen on neighborhood streets, sidewalks, or playgrounds.

WHY DO YOU WEAR A BIKE HELMETS?


"I wear a helmet because I had an accident and I was wearing a helmet and my head felt fine."

"Because it looks cool and it keeps my head safe."

"Because I don't want to hurt my head like my cousin (who almost died in a bike accident)."

"I wear my helmet most of the time because there is law about helmets."

"I wear my helmet all the time because 1) my parents make me and 2) I don't want to get any head injuries."

"You should always wear them because they keep you and your brain safe."

With the greatest of respect. Helmets are ineffective in improving cycling safety, & may even make cycling more dangerous. Holland has the best cycling safety record in the world & helmets extremely rare, even for children. It is seen as a normal, safe activity, so many people cycle with safety in numbers. Places that mandate or even encourage helmets have low cycling rates & more cyclist casualties. It has been shown that drivers pass closer to helmeted cyclists,increasing chance of collision.
