Wear a helmet

Check this out. Dude was on a bike path in Madison, had a green light, truck ran a red light, ran over his HEAD and he survives, none the worse for wear. Question I have is, you hit something, don't you at least stop to see what it is? Even if you don't know its a person, it could be a dog, or someone's pet.

My best friend's nephew was killed in a hit and run about a month ago. I don't understand why some people don't stop.

 

I agree with the helmet idea ... didn't wear one when I biked around a military installation in my younger years, but luckily ended up none the worse for wear. Can someone recommend a good helmet in a large size that's not a complete budget-buster?

 

Congratulations, Slappy. You found a helmet that might accomodate Mitch Albom.

 

Not that I'd justify it by any means with this, but my guess is fear.

 

Head first?

That would be street skeleton, actually ...
