Day 1

Today i learned about safety use of wearing a helmet. I learned about the risk of riding a bike without wearing a helmet.  Here are some information that i have learned....

• The most serious injuries children could get while riding a bike is brain injuries. Brain injuries cannot be cured but can be prevented by wearing a helmet.
• Boys 11-15 years old have the highest rate of injuries on bicycles, they also take most of the risks.
• Most children can be seriously injured brain injury by 75%. This is why many places have bike helmet laws.

Here are some good safety tips of wearing a helmet:

• Make sure your helmet covers at least the tip of your forehead.
• Adjust the straps on the side of your helmet so your helmet is tight enough
• Check to see if three fingers can fit from your eyebrow to your forehead to see if your helmet is tight enough
• move your helmet up and down, and sides to check and see if it is not to loose or to tight around your head.

Here is my overall expectation of my experience of today is that i am very nerves because i haven't ride a bike in a long time but, i am also excited because this is a good way to use my legs.
