I see this mantality of the children rider's all the time. They think lights are uncool or "dorky". I have been told helmets are for whimps, helmets are gay, they don't look cool, and the constant barage of "I know how to ride I never crash". The excuses go on and on. Worst of all we sell Vigor helmets at a reduced price to get people to get them and use them. Still parents will come in look at them with their children and think it is too much to spend at the moment. i try to tell them that $22 to $26 is not a whole lot to spend on a human skull, but what do I know.
Sorry I had to let that out.
