Proper heading

Think bike helmets won't protect against much? Think again.

Ryan Lipscomb had his head run over Friday in Madison, Wisconsin, by a truck -- yes, a truck -- and suffered only a concussion because he was wearing his helmet, which was crushed (see photo) in the altercation.

I know myself that often I don't look for bicycles when I'm turning, but I should. I intend to get a bike soon, and I hope that drivers will be more aware of me.

And, of course, I'll wear a helmet.
