My 12-year old granddaughter is resisting wearing a helmet - and given where she rides (about 3 miles on a country road to get into town here), she needs it! Her mom and dad tell her she has to wear one; my wife and I insist on it; but she's at the age where she's on her own quite a bit. And for this girl, "cool" is everything; she just about has a coronary if one of her beautiful long blonde hairs gets out of place!
She took the bicycle safety course a few years ago. She's smart. From what I've seen, she is obeys the laws and is careful and alert while riding. But I worry about the helmet thing. Any advice? Sometimes I wish we could take her to a physician who has dealt with head wounds on bicyclists who weren't wearing a helmet - show her x-rays, talk about brain injuries, etc. Put some fear in her!
