Streets and Lanes could become to a Trap. A Trap for you! You on your Bike. "Why?"
Because the ground could be slippery especially when it rains, in the fall or even in the winter.
But not only the weather could be a enemy for a cyclist. It`s also the other users of the streets like car driver or still pedestrians. But you can reduce the risk to hurt yourself immense. "But how?"
!!! WEAR A HELMET !!!
Here are 5 good Reasons why you should use a Helmet:
1. Your Hairstyle isn't a good argument
A lot of people especially young and older people are not aware that they should use a Helmet while riding a bicycle.
Or better: They don`t like to use one.
Mostly they are arguing with the reasons "Wearing a Helmet looks not good" especially the younger ones.
The older people saying often "its to hot under the helmet" or "Where should I put my helmet when I finish riding?"
But PLEASE!!!! Every helmet is better than no one! No excuses !
2. Big danger: Crossroad
A lot of car drivers are concentrated. They are so concentrated that they are only watching on their lane. They dont watch left, they dont watch right ... and often on the side where they are not looking is a cyclist. So you need to beaware. But if you are wearing a helmet, you are SAFER! Because if your head takes damage thats not good. You can fix a car, you can fix a bycicle but you can`t easily fix your HEAD !!!
3. The Helmet helps a lot
Luckily on the most accidents, the head is not always the injured part of the body because the Head is the important part of the body. If your head isn`t working, nothing works.
4. He should sit well
You have to attach the helmet properly to the head so that it also protects properly. If the helmet is not attached right you are risk damage on your head if you fall on it.
5. Helmets look good
The last reason is that a Helmet is looking good in my opinion. You need to search a good looking helmet for yourself. Than you are safe and you are looking also good :-)
When I hear people saying: "I don`t look good with a helmet thats the reason why I have no helmet" .... I could cry. Mostly I argument that you have only one life... safe it.
