But it would be nice if the pro's would wear helmets when they are training away from the team. I did see a ceratin US pro (fomrer Astana rider) here in San Diego training without a helmet(more than once). We watch and notice and would like to see you all live long and happy lives after you have given us the pleasure of watching you race.

In Australia it is law in all States that all bicycle riders wear a helmet just as it is for motorcycles. I'm a commuter cyclist and I always make comment as I pass those without one on, I'm also a Paramedic and know first hand what damage is done to the skull when unprotected in an accident.

It would be great if Radio Shack could make this message a prominent supplement to the LiveStrong message, since the team will generate so much interest and publicity. I have seen the costs of brain injury first hand, and also been spared injury twice by wearing a helmet. Perhaps the team might even put the message on the team helmet: Helmets save lives.

With all of their 'Parental Knowledge' they fail to see the obvious truth: Child are LESS experienced than adults. Which means they don't/can't/are unable to make decisions regarding their personal safety. It's not their fault, they're just young and inexperienced. More times than I can count I see parents riding witht their kids and wonder,"Don't you love your children and want them to be happy and healthy???" I don't get it, I'm befuddled. Not to blow my own horn, but my kids (3, 5 and 7) don't get on their bikes unless they are wearing helmets and shoes. It's true, at times it makes them angry, but it's my job to ensure that they live (to the best of my ability) longer than I do. It's also my job to safeguard their well being and sending them out in todays world unprotected just goes against my grain. Love your children, help continue to make their lives happy and healthy, be a parent and do your jobs. Thanks (this has not been a public service announcement. It's simply my humble opinion).
