This is a cause i made on facebook. As many of you may remember, almost a year ago, at this date, my best friend killed in a bike accident (no helmet use). So... i made this cause for his memory. And because i believe that if anyone wears his/her helmet that day and (God no!!!!) involves in an accident, the helmet use, will reduce injuries. So if you want, join my cause at:

Thank you very much

I wish I'd been wearing a helmet when I was knocked off my mountain bike. A nice shiny helmet would've taken my mind off the broken pelvis.
While I personally advocate helmets, I'm an even bigger advocate of rider training (and driver awareness) and riding sensibly within your limits - there really is no such thing as an 'accident'. Treat the disease, not the symptoms, and all that.
