We shouldn’t necessarily be dead from riding bicycles, but based on the way we rode them we definitely could be. It’s ironic that today’s helicopter parents can likely recall riding with no helmets, no hands, too many people or in unsafe positions. We rode on each others’ handlebars, stood on our seats, weaved around traffic and a whole host of terribly risky biking behaviors. At some point along the way, parents started insisting their kids at least wear helmets, which is probably why deaths among bicyclists aged 20 and younger have declined an astounding 86 percent since 1975.
