Actually it should be “Bicycle Safety With Steve”… Our friend Steve came up from Portland to teach bicycle safety to my Dangerous Class for Boys at co-op on Friday.
He rides his bike to work and was in a bicycle accident with a car when he was a kid, so he was totally qualified to teach about what you should and should not do while riding your bike.
The best part was his helmet demonstration. While a helmet is a must for riding, it can’t totally protect you from being “stupid”. He put a helmet on a pumpkin whom he named Melvin and stuck him under the wheel of his SUV.
I can’t believe I didn’t remember about my camera until it was too late and Melvin had gone on to a better place.
But here’s what was left of him when I got back…
Thanks so much Steve! You did a wonderful job and now we will be much safer on our bikes.

Hmmmm...poor Melvin!
Sounds like a class we all need.
Whoa, nothing like an object lesson!
Pity you couldn't have used Melvin for a nice pumpkin pie afterwards but I can understand scooping him off the road would be icky.
Blessings,
Paula
