You'd Look Hotter in a Helmet

Safety is Sexy

Helmets good. End of story. My helmet has saved my ass at least twice that I can think of and I have the cracked lids to prove it.

You can be going as slow as you want and a car not seeing you will rapidly accelerate your body to speeds that are not survivable without a helmet, likewise folding a bike at five miles an hour will result in your top half hitting the pavement at close to 25mph.

Drop by the shop we have gone out of our way to stock the joint with helmets that look good and have a Zero Dork factor. Plus, they are remarkably affordable.

All the more reason to take the road.*

Cyclists, especially those new to the way of life, are often afraid to obstruct traffic even when it is their right. As an example the mayor of London was nearly killed last Friday while cycling to scout locations for London bike routes. Moving too fast for the street the truck boxed in the cyclists when they should have, according to Missouri law, been riding two abreast.

It may be a bit unnerving to force a car to slow down, but it is your right and may save your life. Sometimes sharing the road means taking it, especially in intersections. Hold your place in traffic just like you are a car. Don't slide up the edge of the road between the cars and curb, want an F-150 to make right turn over you? You are vehicle and have the law on your side, take the road and don't be afraid to do it.

*Don't ride on major roads in town that have a speed limit greater than 35MPH. It's legal, but not a good idea unless you REALLY know what you are doing. And if that is the case you won't be on those roads anyway ; )
