Bicycle Helmets

Tom, a friend of mine, a college student, loves riding his bicycle at weekends. He especially enjoys taking long rides through the city. To my surprise, I found he never wears a helmet. I began to wonder why a person who spends so much time and money developing his mind doesn't wear a helmet. Riding a bicycle without a helmet greatly increases his risk of brain injury (черепно-мозговая травма).

Each year, over 50,000 people in the United States suffer some form of brain injury from a bicycle accident. Unfortunately, many of them have long-lasting effects. Getting medical treatment (лечение) can cost very big money and can take many years. Compare this waste of time and money with the $40 you spend on a bicycle helmet.

It is not always easy to make a friend wear a bicycle helmet. Be patient! Give your friend time to come to his or her own decision about wearing one. Invite your friend to take a bicycle ride with you. Without saying anything, put your helmet on quietly. If you stop at a store during your bike ride, keep your helmet on. This will send a message that you are comfortable wearing a helmet both on and off your bike. If you remove it too quickly, your friend may think wearing a helmet is not very nice.

Buying your friend a helmet as a present may not be such a good idea. Your friend may feel you are pushing too hard. Each person needs to reach his or her own conclusions (выводы) about safety and how to protect the body.
