"Properly wearing a helmet can mean the difference between a life or
death situation. Utilizing reflective gear and understanding safety
rules remain critical as well."
Reversal of priorities, as usual.
1. Understand safety regulations and practices.
2. Compliance with sensible safety regulations and practices.
3. Know that reflectors cannot replace active light.
4. Understand that cycle helmets neither prevent accidents nor offer significant protection in the event of a collision.
5. Know that just believing the suggestion in the first sentence from
the quote above can mean the difference between a life or death
situation.
5. "Wearing a properly fitted helmet, will decrease the risk of
traumatic brain injury" ... for pedestrians. You do wear a properly
fitted helmet when walking, right?
6. etc.
