Would you be worried if you saw an old man with a walking stick and a cycle helmet?

Question

Just seen an old guy barely able to walk relying on a stick, but wearing a cycle helmet on his head...presumably because he was about to take to the road on his bike. I'm not being ageist - you're never too old to remember how to ride a bike - but I just immediately felt worried for his safety and of others on the road. Am I over reacting?

Answer 1

It is a good thing when one is conscientious within the elderly, he may have been wearing a helmet for protection from falls and injury to the head.
