I just got a new bike and I want to ride it to my friends house who lives about 1miaway from meThe ride there is mostly sidewalk, but there is a big intersectionI have gone through big intersections just fine when I go biking with my friends, but in this case im aloneI never get in trouble and I get good gradesI know all the safety guidlines of riding a bike (turn signals, riding with traffic etc.)I tried sitting down my mom and telling her what I know about bike safety, but she just wont budgeCan anyone give me any advice?
Fiberglass Insulation On Skin
Tell her it's okStatistically, biking is the 3rd safest mode of transportation after elevators/escalators, and airplanes in firstI'm 13 years old and I've biked to the police station (3 mines) and my ex's house (9 miles mostly in the road)The cars will let you goThey won't just randomly come and hit youIf you're crossing at an intersection, then that's even safer because there's traffic lights, etcCars aren't stupidThey care about your safety and their insurance accountsIf you do get hit and it goes to court, you will most likely prevailI know this because I've been hit before, and even though I broke the guy's windshield, I had all of my hospital fees covered and didn't have to pay for her windshieldTell your mom not to be overprotectiveYou should be OK with biking a mileA mile isn't far at all.
You mean like fiberglass specks? You could try tape stripping - put adhesive tape on the area and then pull it off, the insulation should go with itOtherwise, there's not much that is really helpful.
Shower with water that is body tempCold water closes the pores onto the insulation fibersHot water is worse.opens the pores where the fibers get in deeperHold your hand in the water stream while adjusting temp until it feels neither warm nor cool.
