I was gratified to see many Virginia Tech students biking to campus this morning. Any hope of making this a bike-friendly town depends on having lots of student bikers.
But I was also dismayed at how few students were wearing helmets. Please, please get a helmet at your nearest friendly bike shop and wear it every time you bike. Your fellow students are often driving while distracted and they won't see you until it's too late. Your head is your most valuable asset -- it's worth protecting.
