Second the helmet for bikes. With the rising price of gas, more people around here are riding bikes and mopeds. I've helped several friends get bikes, and then I've made sure they have helmets. Personal experience is a great motivator.
My father went out for fast food one summer evening riding his bicycle. Something happened, and he crashed (no one was around). He wasn't wearing and helmet (common practice in 1980), and his brain didn't make it. I was 2 months old, and never got to know him.
My boyfriend was riding down a country road. He was hit from behind by a truck full of assholes, and went into the ditch. He was wearing a helmet. He may have a metal plate in his arm, but he has his adorable brains.

Helmets - they come in pretty colors now!
