Had not riden a bike in twenty years and rented bikes for the family to ride on the beach and bike paths at Hilton Head Island, SC. Didn't think I needed helmets even though at home I won't let my grandson ride without beening helmeted. My grandson rode in front on me and cause me to hit his back wheel and my bare head hit the sand.
I have since gotten several bikes and several helmets at least one for each house. I won't leave the house ridding with out a helmet and eye-covering. Got hit in the face by a bumble bee today. Just missed my sun glasses. Had laser eye surgery to keep from wearing glasses and now I realise that eye protection is just as important as a helmet.
A good horn is another important piece of safety equipment. A large bugle horndoes wonders for making one be seen.
