Bicycle safety

It is with great saddness that I am writing this blog. Last Tuesday evening Theresa's cousin grandson was killed in a bicycle accident. Apparently the chain came off the bike and he couldn't stop. There wasn't any great speed and he wasn't showing off. He started down the driveway and couldn't stop, went across the road and hit a tree. He was not wearing a helmut, if he had been this story would probably have ended with, Brian got bruised up when he hit that tree across the road. This was a kid that played football, baseball and basketball so he was use to safety equipment. He had a new dirt bike but his grandmother hadn't let him ride it because she was afraid that he would get hurt. So few people seem to realize the danger of riding a bicycle. I know that the helmut looks funny, but it can save lives, so please make sure that this important safety device is used.
