Jessie, were you ever the narrator on a bicycle safety video??
Oi! Wear a helmet Jesse! It's incredibly important and needs more people on board. Literally saved me from a serious head injury when biking. Dented the helmet and split my ski goggles up the center, that's how much force I hit with. Thanks to the two, not even a minor concussion.
Also (at least in sask) if there is no dedicated bike lane, then you use the driving lane. You can hug the right side and let someone pass if there's space.
But please, as an example/influencer, helmets are important.
Needs serious improvement to worthy of people listening to it - clowns in a basement trying to sound cool.
Michael Schumacher was wearing a helmet at the time of the skiing accident. That’s what’s so amazing about the injury. The experts figure the go pro mounted to the helmet factored in. Really important to do your research guys. Plus Jesse grow some ball’s and enjoy our national sport hockey. While you’re promoting the liberals I suppose you 2 will be paying my share of the debt they brought on this country?? Remember this debt will be insurmountable as a nation. The liberals doubted it during Tr... more
