I don’t always wear a helmet while on my bike rides but know that I really should. That said, how many of us survived our childhoods without helmets and the other things mentioned in that image which I grabbed from Instagram.
I recall going over the handlebars of my bike and landing on my back circa 1970 at ten years of age with no helmet! At 62, I am much more careful of how and where I point that eBike. It’s the unknown factor with people driving cars, you must stay ultra aware of everything happening around you.
There is no way that I will ride a motorcycle in this town! The not-so-good flower photos were taken this afternoon, and you know where!
Safety just wasn’t as big of a thing when we were growing up either. We never used to wear helmets while riding a bike. But then again we grew up in the country where there was no traffic.
I thought you meant Wooden Spoons verses the Paddle. That was my Niece growing up. I miss the trust and safety of that time period.
check, check, check……….YES
Yes! 😂 Oh to be a kid again…
The flower photos are gorgeous. I was an antsy child and had several mishaps while riding my bike but there were always nice people around to help. Nowadays, it is much different. Sigh.
That’s good that had a good childhood, today people are not so happy and it’s all about them. Or so it seems. I’ve met plenty of very nice people in Vegas.
Those flower images are beautiful, I really love when you share flower pictures they’re so beautiful 😊 Take of yourself and wear the safety stuff necessary. When we’re young we survive everything but as we get older we have to take care of ourselves.
Thanks, Pooja! I’m certainly not as tough as I was years ago but that’s life. You are not old, Pooja! 🥰
I’m not old yet but I’m almost 30 now 😩
And we went walking in the woods. Hunting was allowed. I am still here.
Me too, and deer hunting is still going strong in Michigan which is good. Maybe people are too paranoid these days? I am a recreational rider and make frequent stops for photos, a helmet is not comfy and it makes my head sweat! 😂
Well, it is all in fate or following your instincts. Lets say we had good instincts, our neighbors looked out for one another, times were different and we got lucky.
It was a better and now sadly vanished time. 😭
Definitely. We were lucky to grow up when we did.
Yes, and sadly the children today will not likely have that experience.
Those memes always make me sad. Two of my friends were killed in road accidents before they were 18, it wasn’t either of their faults but one was on a bike (no one wore helmets in those days) and one didn’t have a seatbelt on. I hope you’ll wear your helmet, if you are really unfortunate it probably won’t be your judgement that kills you but someone else’s poor judgement in a car. I don’t understand the wooden spoon reference though!
Wow, thank you so much for caring! So kind of you. 🥰 I’m so sorry about your friends, very sad. 🙏🏻 We have always used wooden spoons in my family, I use them too, there are several of them in my kitchen including a wooden spatula.
Why would you not use them? Are they supposed to be dangerous?!
Wooden utensils? No.
