This reminds me of the difficulties I have had trying to convince my GF to wear a helmet. She rides her bike two miles to campus through moderately heavy downtown traffic, but still thinks there is no danger. She uses the excuse that she doesn't ride fast enough to get hurt. I have explained to her all of the possible things that can happen, i.e. cracks in the road, drivers pulling out, doors opening. But, she just doesn't get it. I have been thinking about buying her a helmet, so at least it will be hanging there if she decides to use it. I have even considered not riding with her unless she wears one.
Why is it that the ones that are the least experienced think they are the most invincible?
