Last week, as you know, I went out for a Super Bowl Ride. When I wanted to go back home.. things happened not expected. I freaked out actually. You can see from my face. If you see me speaking weird (hmm that happens a lot actually), that means I’m in a panic or at least thinking a lot!
Well.. You may see the Grand Central first and last time from this perspective from my bike. I’m not going that crazy Grand Central Station Tunnel again. No way! Tunnels suck. I don’t like them even I’m in a car.
And when I was talking to a friend last week, she was like “you keep going, that’s good”, and I felt good. Some of you are watching my ride, and supporting me to keep doing it..
Also a friend asked me, is there a bigger goal? I got excited: yes!! I launched the website 2 days ago.
Let me know how you like it.
I want you to signup my email newsletter. Does it make you do it? If not, why????
Stay passionate,
girl on the bike
LOVE… and I am going to be a broken record. HELMET!!! They aren’t uncool. It’s uncool if you mess up your pretty face and smart brain.
hey Jamah, soon I’ll use a helmet.. π definitely I agree with you.. !
please really look into the issue and dont wear a helmet because some person wants to impose their ideas/values/privilege on you.
There is no law about helmets and many studies showing that it is in fact dangerous to ride with helmet on.
Feeds the perception that cycling is dangerous.
Please Google this subject to have a full grasp surrounding the issue(testing done on helmets,ration of injury to head and neck or wearers ect)lots of info out there.
cars have been proven to ride 12″ closer to helmeted riders.
And finally,if you do decide to wear a helmet while biking,please wear one while showering and walking up or down stairs(Both more dangerous then biking)
And of course,if u intent to race(Mountain or road)that you wear a helmet,thats what they were made for,racing.
Don’y let fear rule everything around u. Cheers
I am also a cyclist, and have had two accidents where a helmet saved my life. Girlonthebike is my friend, not just some stranger, she knows my helmet suggestion is just because I care about her.
Fear mongering about something that is not the law. Do your research.
If you were really worried about safety,hers or other ur advice would have surrounded hand signals and staying to the right..

Hand signals are definitely important. With my personal experience, helmets are also important. I wouldn’t be here right now if it wasn’t for a helmet.
Fearmongering about helmets. Ride the law. Hand signal,stop lights and signs stay to the right.
The only thing i would suggest that is not the law is a smile,please wear a smile. Cheers!
Be careful
