I'm really not an over protective parent. I would probably let her ride without a helmet at all. But after a spill off her bike last week (which didn't harm her AT ALL. She picked her face out of the leaves in the ditch and hollered "I'm OK!") the May Queen was nervous about getting back on two wheels. She wanted protection! So we bought her a helmet and she insisted on gearing up in these knee and elbow pads AND fingerless gloves. With fairies to guard her head and unicorns to pad all her joints she and her daddy went for a bike ride around the neighborhood.Of course, she didn't fall at all.

no, but she looks pretty darn cute
BubTar is pretty serious about his protection, too. Of course, he's still a little too scared to ride on his own, too, but he'll get there.
The important thing is that she got back on! Yeah MQ!
We always do the Helmet thing. My son hates all the other gear but I admit to having had him wear it his first few times out. Now it sits waiting for my next child to give it a try.
I had The Champ start out with all the gear and a lot of complaining. We've settled on just the helmet.
MQ is lucky that the V-meister doesn't live in your hood. She would have totally called you out on that safety violation. ;)
awesome momma
We do helmets. It's not only smart, here it is THE LAW. We like making laws in Canada!
She looks ready for the Velodrome. And I'm so glad she's back on and enjoying it.
Tyler wouldn't ride without all that protection either...
Good job MQ!!! :)
For some reason I found the statement "With fairies to guard her head and unicorns to pad all her joints" absurdly funny. Glad she got back on the bike!
Hey, she looks smart! And cute! And what Beck said, law 'em up! You get in trouble with the law for riding with a nikked head.
This is just too sweet! And of course she needs all that padding.
