I was walking along with Doggie today when the neighbor started up a conversion with me. He told me I should really ride with a helmet on when I'm on my e-bike, or something like that.
We talked for a while and I tried to convince him that there were much more important things to be concerned with. No such luck. He seemed honestly concerned with my well being.
We never wore helmets when I was a kid, they were not even available. I never had anything really serious happen although I broke both my arms in a bicycle accident once.
I think I ride much safer now that I'm older.
In some ways riding with a helmet on gives me a false sense of security and I don't focus as much on what the other cars are doing. It is also kind of a pain to deal with when you are just going down to the store on a short trip.
Anyhow, the conversation made me worried. When your worried your much more likely to get in a wreck. My son borrowed my helmet so I drove the car down to the disc golf course.
You should be more worried about all the extra CO2 that I put in the air from not riding my e-bike. LOL.
My precious Volt disc almost got dunked in the river on hole eight today:

I was a bit worried about the wind but a Youtube person said the Volt is a great headwind fighter. I've found it to be pretty stable so I threw it like I usually do and it turned and burned in the headwind. I should have stabled up to something like the Fireball because the wind was blowing so hard, but it did fade back to the riverbank.
I found it about five feet from the water on a really muddy slope. As I reached down precariously with some tree branches I could just see myself taking a tumble into the river.
Nope, I got my disc back. No need for new legislation requiring helmets and life jackets while disc golfing near rivers... Yet anyway, lol.
Thanks for reading! I always value your support and comments. The pictures were taken by me with my Galaxy S9+. Text and graphics copyright lightsplasher & litesplasher.
