Helmets bro!

Do people in your neighborhood have cell phones? Trees don't move, cars do...and lots of times they are moving with the driver on their phones or otherwise distracted.
My neighborhood is a new subdivision with 140 houses. No through traffic. I'm retired and out on a bike on rare occasions when the neighbors are working. Seeing more than one car in 30 min is pretty rare. I don't stay out long. Oh . . . my house is NOT a new house. However, there are probably 5000 or more houses that have been built within a mile of it in the last 10-15 years. New Sun Belt neighborhoods are laid out very differently from established neighborhoods in the northeast.

But thanks for caring. I do wear a helmet went out riding on a bike trail. I don't do mountain biking, more likely to be a Rails-to-Trails style trail.

I guess my bike helmet habits don’t make a lot of sense. I generally wear one where it’s required, which means bike paths, and don’t where it’s not, meaning the surface streets around town. Riding in traffic is obviously much more dangerous then a bike path but there you go. I never said I was a genius.
 
When I was cycling and a car hit me in the 80s, helmets were not yet de rigeur. Wasn't wearing one. Lucky not to have been seriously injured. When I crashed at low speed on roller skis a few years ago, helmet prevented a concussion. To each their own.
 
this thread is gay. Just sayin
yup, you can’t use the g word any longer. It hurts the kids feelings today.

don’t even think about using the f or r words either, you’ll trigger a full on millenniul melt down.
Would that be a bunch of sticks and a person with diminished mental capacity ?
Those 3 words were staples in my childhood----if I didn't have those words, I would have not talked most of the time.
