A use for bike helmets

Just saw a cartoon in which a kid with a slice off a sphere precariously balanced on his head is speaking to a kid wearing a horned helmet: "Dude, I said let's go *biking* this weekend." Without the plastic hat, how would we have known that the child was dressed for riding his little bike? Which is on a roof rack on a car in the background. I wonder who will drive the two children to their playground? ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'truth, the plastic-hat craze would do no harm were it not that it makes it impossible to promote bike safety. Every time the topic is brought up, "We'll buy everybody a plastic hat!" Check, that's taken care of, next topic. Agreed. I've been through training and certification to teach bike safety to kids. I mentioned this to a friend of mine, principal of a nearby middle school and so he asked about me doing such a program. I said I could do that, but warned him that I would not promote or mandate helmets. He said "Oh, but our parents really believe in helmets." And he apparently decided not to put on that program. The issue has reached the stage where helmets are dogma. Skepticism isn't even tolerated. -- - Frank Krygowski |
