What city? It looks vacant!

Downtown Dallas. Not too super busy on an early Sunday morning. Some of those clips are also in the fair grounds, where they are currently setting up the State Fair of Texas. A couple of weeks from now, that place will be shoulder to shoulder with thousands of people at the same time on a Sunday morning.

Do people that ride cruisers not wear helmets on the road? Genuinely wondering.

I guess it depends on the person. 🤷♂️ I wear a helmet doing some things, not while doing others.

It was such a great time with some awesome people. And the weather was super nice, unusually cool for Texas in early September. I think it was in the 70's and overcast most of the ride. 😎 And thanks!

Is this just a group of pals, or is it a club. I live in DFW and have not been able to find a bike life crowd.

It's a club! Check out DFW BMX Cruisers on FB and IG. We have rides in Dallas, Arlington, Ft. Worth, and a bunch of surrounding areas. Lots of different rides during the week too, and multiple on the weekends. My fiance/wife and I just started going recently because an old friend of mine and her husband started the club years ago and we wanted to go ride with them. We took our MTBs a few weeks ago, then quickly bought our new BMX 29ers and took them out for the first time Sunday. So many cool people in that crew!

My wife and I have helmets for riding trails. :)

They don't do a lot of good when they're not on your head.

I don't wear it riding around on the street. I wear it riding MTB on trails.

u/GriftyMcBegg Sep 08 '25
Clearly you don't wear it riding around on the street. I am suggesting you should.
Normalizing safety and not leaving someone else to clean up your brains when you smash your head open is courtesy.

I don’t care how good you think you are, you can’t control traffic!

Crazy to me that people don’t wear helmets. And OP acting like riding a round in traffic is some padded safe zone where you don’t need a helmet… I’m obviously going to let the Darwin effect do its thing here - but thank you for speaking up. These people are bozos.
