I see it all the time where people drive around slowly in town wearing a helmet, then take it off and chuck it in the basket when they leave town (and increase their speed). Sometimes in town I see girls with helmets hanging off their elbows so they can put it on if they see a cop. Just today I saw lady and kid on the bike, no one wearing a helmet but the kid was holding one in both hands (and not holding on to the bike or his mum). I know a guy who ended up in the hospital because he went over a bump and the helmet flew out of the basket, causing him to crash. It's not lack of funds that stops people from wearing helmets, it's stupidity. When you buy a used bike? Believe or not, some people are poor. I believe what you say though. Reminds me of the affluent Westerners who criticize child labor. For some families that is a matter of survival. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
