Nah, neon pink is, like, so 1991. The style hasn’t come back around to it, yet.

I know the statistics about injuries from bicycle riding, but I still wonder sometimes. Neither I, nor anyone I knew or even knew of, received a serious head injury from falling off a bicycle. And I came off my bicycle pretty badly quite a few times. Ditto for skateboards.

HAH! I rode miles and miles on bikes until I was maybe 14+. I rode right into a moving car right in front of my driveway (a steep hill - loved to get a head of steam!). Trying to avoid it and a coming mailbox I hit the car and fell off onto neighbor’s driveway. I broke my arm - that was it.

I had some other scrapes but that was the worst I ever had on a bike (I also had a minor concussion/blacked out from jumping from runaway horse). I NEVER wore any of these weenie things.
