For this reason, helmet promoters say kids should take off their helmet
immediately when they get off their bike. Then, since they are kids,
perhaps a few seconds later they may decide to get back on the bike and
must put their helmets on, to ride to Johnny's house. Then as soon as
they get to Johnny's house 100 yard down the street, they must take
their helmets off. But if Johnny isn't home and they want to ride to
Freddy's house, they must put them back on.

I'm don't know who this makes sense to.

That's an absolutely ridiculous post Frank.


Nope, it is just applying the manufacturer's arse cover to a reasonable
set of activites by kids, especially young kids. YMMV, but I've seen
similar rolling cicuses roll through here over time.

Cheers


What I thought was ridiculous was Frank's anecdote (notice he didn't
quote or provide a link to it as he demands everyone else do when they
post something) that children should remove, replace, remove their
helmet so often. the time intervals that Frank gave were what I found
to be ridiculous. YMMV


Maybe it has been awhile since you observed a group of four year olds.
They have an attention span of well under a minute. I can easily
imagine a little girl riding down the sidewalk, seeing a tree and
climbing into it in less time than it takes you or me to get one leg
into our trousers in the morning.
