I had been praying about some activity that Little Man and I could do together. I'm not good at throwing any type of ball. Nor do I enjoying "wetting a hook" as he calls it (I believe he would rather fish than eat). The bugs and snakes that call the hiking trail their home "bug" me in the summertime. But biking...
We decided that is something we could do together that we might both enjoy. So, we invested in a bike for me yesterday (sure am glad we choose the one with the "wider, padded saddle"). The road that I have traveled for 16+ years came to life this morning. I had no idea there were so many wildflowers growing along its sides. Yep... I'm hooked. Now I just have to get in shape to keep up with my Little Man.
By the way... Helmets are smart. http://www.helmets.org/index.htm
- About 540,000 bicyclists visit emergency rooms with injuries every year. Of those, about 67,000 have head injuries.
- One in eight of the cyclists with reported injuries has a brain injury.
- Two-thirds of the deaths are from traumatic brain injury.
- A very high percentage of cyclists' brain injuries can be prevented by a helmet, estimated at anywhere from 45 to 88 per cent.
- Helmets are cheap.
