That bike picture is so scary. Glad he's ok! My friend rarely wore a helmet until he was scared into wearing one. And what do you know? Hit by a car a week later, head bounces off the asphalt, and he's totally fine. Wear your helmet, folks! AHHHHHHHHHH. That bike picture is so scary. Glad he’s ok!

I'm glad Denise is okay, and it seems to me that her life may have been saved in part due to the automobile safety standards, including those for shatter-resistant windshields. We may not think about it often, but, due to government safety requirements, our cars are pretty safe. Speaking of safety, I'm struck (no pun intended) by how many bicyclists here do not wear helmets. I have biked many thousands of miles, from the California coast to Portugal, have gone upwards of 60 m.p.h., and have had some hairy accidents, including a tire blowout at high speed on the hilly switchbacks northeast of Santa Cruz. I wouldn't dream of riding my bike without a helmet. Get one with a visor and you have some added sun protection too. Good collection of Monday bullets.
