There is constant "bike helmet" talk in our house. Steve and I are both bike lovers, the kids ride their bikes and scooters all of the time, and Steve does triathalons (this community is buzzing about this).

And, did I mention that Steve's a pediatrician? He's not a helmet-optional kinda guy.

We hate helmets. We love them. We wear them, but we don't like it.

I'm so grateful for these women and their total DARING! Take a look. I cried at the end.
