Bike helmets, safety training for day laborers

Several day laborers who use bicycles as their primary means of transportation will receive helmets and safety training funded by a $25,000 grant awarded Monday by Kaiser Permanente to the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition.

[no responsibility]

If Kaiser put that much money and caring into their patients and their families they might give better healthcare.

[No way cant be]

How about a GPS so they can find there way home.

[Skoobusnla]

What a GOD Da** waste of money.

[Paul]

Funny.

Put the money into there lousy patience care. Buy the laborers a one way ticket back home.
X Kaiser patience

[lasparky11]

I need to proof read before hitting the send button. Insert patient in place of patience.
Thanks

Stay off the sidewalks and out of the crosswalks, unless you are walking your damned bike. Don't ride against traffic. Obey the damned laws like a vehicle. Jerks.

You've got to be kidding me.

[WHAT]

This has got to be a joke............

[Louweegie272]

Being that Day Laborers get free health care in emergency rooms, preventing injuries could wind up saving money.

This I've got to see!!!

The image of a bunch of "day laborers"
standing on the corner of Ventura & Fallbrook.....

Or lying against the fence at Canoga & Van Owen.....

All wearing bicycle helmets!

To protect their delicate little skulls.

They are fragile, like eggs.

Or incredibly hard, like geodes.

This I've GOT to see!!!!

LOL!!!

[moe]

I am not a day laborer but I would like a free bike helmet! I do pay taxes and well I think I deserve a f*%%% helmet, along with some accessories for my damn bike. I almost got hit couple days ago by some older gentleman. He also did a illegal turn at the same time. I better stick with just walking now!!!

[Got it now]

[mexico losangeles]

[redpandabear]

you think illegel are dangerous with bicycles you should see them in cars, i wonder how much it would cost kaiser then to train them to drive cars safely lol...

[rectalhead]

Why do a see a flood of bicycle lights and helmets at the local pawn shops?

I know not all day laborers are illegals, however, what about the legal minimum wage worker that rides his bike to work because he can't afford gas?

I remember when everyone was riding a bicycle. I used to deliver the Daily News on mine. I would ride it to school with a hundred others.
First they came out with the 10 speed and everyone had to have one. Then they came out with the Stingray and everyone had to have one. Then they came out with the foreign umpteen speeds and everyone had to have one.
Then the adults started to ride them, wearing tights with funny little helmets, there would be 20 or 30 of them on the street with a bunch of cars behind them. These people did not ride in single file, they took up an entire lane. It was very annoying. They were obviously new at this as every kid new cars were something to be feared.
Then they came out with the mountain bike. That was cool, we could ride our bikes down the fire trails to the beach.
Then they came out with a law that said we had to put a phallic looking helmet on our heads.
Then doctors started slamming on the brakes when those people with the tights and funny looking helmets were hogging the road.
Bicycle riding came to a halt.
Now, there are no bicycle racks at schools.

[Got it now]

Now they can be well protected for the next Cinco de Mayo gathering
