Wearing proper safety gear won’t prevent you from crashing your bike, but it may well prevent serious injury. The helmet is probably most obvious because it stops a glance to head from becoming a full-blown head trauma. They really do save lives on a regular basis and riding without one isn’t just foolish, it’s suicidal.

Proper boots, jerseys and trousers will protect majority of rest of your body from serious injury in most cases and gloves will protect your hands. Never be tempted to ride without full quota of protective gear.

Fancy a dried flower wall hanging?

I used to make those years ago. For this, you need

• a paper bowl or plastic bowl that you can cut easily with a pair of scissors.
• Florist foam
• 2 sheets of very thick cardboard each size of frame you want
• Glue that can stick to foam and bowl and cardboard.
• Dried flowers
• Paint
• Very strong thick string or fishing line to hang wall hanging.

Now cut bowl in half.

Plan out your frame. What shape do you want it to be?

It has to be substantially larger than that half bowl as you need to make room for frame.

Cut both sheets of cardboard into shape of your chosen frame

1 sheet would be backing inside, other would be just frame.

Make 2 holes in backing that would be hidden behind frame. Tie string through both holds on outer side of backing. This will be used to hang final dried flower wall hanging.
