I realize that I am largely preaching to the choir here, but I need to vent a bit about the lack of wearing a helmet.

Yesterday, I came upon an accident on a multi-use path (no cars involved). I didn't see the accident, but I did see a woman lying on the ground with a head injury (very obviously so), a bike to the side of the road, and no sign of any helmet. She was already being cared for by more people than she needed (and I could hear the ambulances in the distance), so I didn't stop.

I have to say, I got kinda angry that she wasn't wearing a helmet. Okay, perhaps that's unfair--it's her head and her choice. But, I have to draw the conclusion that a helmet would have served her well. The others involved in the accident (no matter who was at fault) and her caregivers face a certain emotional toil.

So, folks, keep the helmets on.

Thanks for indulging my rant.

Best,
Jamie
