Should I just quit wearing it?!
Question: Should I just quit wearing it!?
I'm 14, and I like to go on daily bike rides!. I go by myself, but my mom makes me wear this dorky helmet!.
I don't like wearing it, and I have rode without it a few times!.
She tells me that if I don't wear it, if I were to get into an accident, that I could get badly injured, without the helmet protecting my head!.
I don't know if I believe her, because most of the bike riders I pass by, don't wear helmets, and they're just fine!.
I only wear because I feel if I don't, I will get into a bad accident, as God's way of saying "You should have listened to your mother"

I think you should use it!. What IF you are the unfortunate one that some driver does not see!. Wouldn't you rather live!. Head injuries are obviously very dangerous!. Try asking mom for a cooler one or split the difference with her if she thinks the cool helmets are too expensive!.
Find a bike park, where lots of people wear helmets b/c they're doing tricks & stuff!.
Just so you know, everyday I see people on "serious" training bike rides on some of the highway/canyon roads where I live & they are wearing helmets because as professionals they respect the danger of their sport!.
Have fun, don't worry about it!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

Do what you feel is right, kid!. And, that's not another way of saying "listen to your mother," or anything like that!. Just go with your instincts!. Do you think you're good enough to ride without a helmet!. Are you doing BMX!? Add up all the factors, and do what you think is best!. If you don't want people to see you, then go somewhere hidden, like a path through a forest or something!. I don't know, it's your life, live it!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
well if something DOES happen to you while your not using the helmet, you'll be thinking to yourself, as you said up there!.!.!. you should have listened to your mother, but, i dont think riding a bike is too dangerouse, as long as you know how to use it!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
you don't see the people who got into a bike accident and weren't wearing a helmet because they are dead!.!.!. wear your helmet man!.!.!. i've been riding bikes for years and have gotten into a few accidents!.!.!. i was wearing a helmet and thanks to said helmet, can answer this question!.!.!. otherwise i'd probably be dead!.!.!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Ask yourself this question!.!.!.!.Do I want chance being a vegetable for the rest of my life simply because I felt I didn't look "cool" wearing a helmet!?
Keep the helmet and wear it but just add stuff to it to customize it so it will look cool!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
