Smart, health and safety conscious

I wear a helmet. I ride mostly in traffic and have been hit by a car before, it is not fun.

Answer 16

a helmet is wise if you are competing or doing stunts if you aren't competing it is lame
i have done a front flip (once) and that was on an emergency stop and just got up and kept going so it won't be bad

so all of the others that gave answers are lame they sit at their computers too much!!!!

Answer 19

well when i ride my bike i never wear helmets or knee and elbow pads........sometimes i dont even wear shoes :) i think they are kind of weird unless they are little................if your wearing roller skates and going down a big hill u should though

Answer 20

Sensible. Bicycle accidents can be just as nasty as any other accident.

Answer 21

Overdoing it a bit . After all we as kids and young adults cycled hundreds of miles with no protection at all , Bike helmets weren't invented then I think We never ran into any problems

Answer 22

They are sensible and taking the right precautions in case of an accident.

Answer 23

I think people who wear helmets and pads are VERY smart. I make my son wear his when he rides his bike and he is 13 yrs. old.. Think safety first..........

Answer 24

Someone who is intelligent, doesn't want to live in a vegetative state or coma and miss out on all the fun things in life.

Answer 25

I assume they're homosexuals.

Answer 26

Where I live it's the law that you must wear a helmet. I wish that law was in effect when my son had a bicycle accident 20 years ago. He had two craniotomies to try to repair the damage done to his scull. His life was never the same. Fall off a bike just once and you'll know why some people wear protective gear. It can cause damage that can last a lifetime and hurts like the dickens.

Answer 27

Sensible, if they are doing extreme stunts.

Answer 28

I think knee pads and elbow pads are a bit overkill (unless they are riding on ramps or something), however those that wear helmets are smart enough to realise it will often be difference between life or death, or ending up in a coma or not.

Answer 29

Think they value safety over fashion.
