On yer bike!

As I was cycling on a disused railway line today, I saw quite a few kids messing about.

Doing the sort of thing kids do on bikes...wheelies, no hands on the handlebars. Nothing wrong in that. Except they weren't wearing helmets.

It reminded me that kids may be the worst offenders, but there are plenty of people who don't wear helmets whether they are on pathways or roads.

I can't understand why this hasn't been made law. I really can't. No-one can travel by car without being strapped in. But anyone can ride a bike without any protection at all.

Accidents will happen. For some, the thought of wearing a helmet will come too late.
