Too many people riding bikes without helmets

Everyday in my day to day life I see so many people riding bikes without helmets.  I just want to stop them and tell my story.  I run to help my brain and for enjoyment.  What you see is this woman running, what you don't know is the infernal work that goes on just for me to be on that running path. The headaches, off balance, being startled by bikers who don't have the common courtsy to tell you they are "coming in the left".  And yes the riders who are in clubs do have helmets on, the recreation bikers do not. I want to stop them and tell them my story and tell them I had a helmet on!  I don't think the will listen. I have neighbors who know what happened to me and they even helped my family, they still allow their kids to ride without helmets!

People, we cannot avoid #accidents, but we can help ourselves by using the safety equipment made available to us to help keep us save!  I should know a simple helmet saved my life.  I don't know where this post was supposed to go but I ran six miles yesterday and ended it with a headache and off balance. The tempuature was 88 degrees. I had to make sure my feet and shoulders were lined up correctly as I ran, which gave me a headache and the run wasn't mindless like they used to be. But I did it. Wear a helmet, wear the safety equipment for your sport, you are not cool if you don't, you are an accident waiting to happen.  And I hope you can recover from it, or that you are still alive. Pretty dark way to end a post but the truth my save your life.  I don't edit my own work vey well because of my limitations but I think you get my point.  Enjoy life but do it safely.

Now I hope I can find this blog again when I have something to say.
