Bicycle helmets!

Okay, so now in the UK, we have a law that states every person under the age of 16 must wear a bicycle helmet every time they ride a bike. Does that then mean that every person over the age of sixteen is not able to have a bicycle accident that can cause a head injury? In the whole 13 years of my life, I’ve NEVER fallen off a bike and I’ve NEVER worn one of those! Yeah, a helmet may LOOK ‘safer’ and sensible.. on a young child, yeah. Why don’t they make the age limit 10 or something. Not 16, seriously.

The law in New York is under age 15. The only reason it is kids that they force to where them, it because kids are not generally as careful as adult riders. And there are a lot more of them. But most serius adult riders wear them. I do.
