So tell me, what is your opinion about helmets for people on a bike? No really. Tell me. Because I think I am gonna need one, and I am totally NOT up for it! There are people who have a bad hair day, and as the day progresses, these annoying features on their head disappear and by the time they go to bed, it’s all looking great and fab. Well, for starters, with me it is the other way around! I look (reasonably) well in the morning, and less flattering at night. But that is of course all gonna change if I have to start wearing a helmet while biking to work in the morning!! Definitely a no go I would say!
Secondly, what the F%*K do I need a helmet for? Why are the drivers of fast cars not coming to my store for an eye test? This way I will be very busy (yeeeaaahhh!!!) and they will be able to see me! I am already wearing one of these yellow fluorescent ‘I am helping the kids to cross the street’ kinda jacket, which, from own experience, will almost burn a hole in your retina once light is reflected from it!!

The downside of not wearing one is two-fold as well by the way. Firstly, I could get killed. Ummm…
Secondly, as soon as my mum realizes I am still riding my bike without a helmet I am dead, even if there is no bike to be seen in a 1 mile radius!!

Kinda tragic as well isn’t it? Dead, or a 24/7 bad hair day, every day.

I’m a girl though! I have to stand up for my rights!!!
And that is: I rather die… with NICE HAIR!
