[OHPV-list] OHPV-list Digest, Vol 35, Issue 15

                                                                      Brain damage sucks.
                   
          
            Currently, prevention is the only know cure for brain injury.
 
                  My younger brother has suffered his whole life from brain damage caused by head trama. 
 My helmet is courage for my head, on or off the road. I can ride faster and enjoy myself more while on my bike with my helmet on. I feel naked without it.
I also wear my helmet just to visit the park with my kids. It teaches them to use their helmets at all times.
