Will you will me your Paisley? I'll send you the info. I think my wife would like to ride it, once it is cleaned up.

I've had 4 falls in 12 years. Each was at less that 5 mph. The worst was when I tried to "jump" a curb and didn't. The bike stopped and I didn't. I went "splat" on the very hard cement. Another was on a MUP when a mom went chasing after a ball her toddler had dropped - going right in front of me.

Did the helmet help? I can't say for sure. I am very positive it did not hurt me.

Don't expect a helmet to save your life if you are hit by a car and run over. It won't. But, it just might reduce injuries on a MUP - the most dangerous place, as far as frequency of accidents - around.
