Way to go, Amy!
Wear your helmet! Even the best rider can be permanently brain-damaged from a fall without a helmet. It just takes one person in a car not paying full attention, or one pedestrian stepping in front to cause a rider to crash, and without a helmet, there is a frightening real chance of brain damage or death.

Please, please, wear your helmet! Wear your helmet!

Wear your helmet!

Put cool stickers on it if that'll help make you want to wear it!
