Candice Grey, a midday host for The JOY FM, broke her jaw in three places, fractured her ear canal and broke her shoulder after hitting a large crack in a sidewalk during a family bike ride.
The crash launched her over the handlebars, causing her to land face-first on the concrete before spending seven days in the hospital.
Grey admitted she was not wearing a helmet because she did not want to mess up her hair, but she is now warning families that safety must come before appearance.
Her message arrives as Tampa Bay area students prepare to return to school, prompting AAA to urge drivers and riders to share the road safely and use properly fitted helmets.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office is working to educate parents on the legal differences between e-bikes and higher-powered e-motos.
Florida law mandates that e-bikes must have working pedals and motors under 750 watts; non-compliant vehicles are classified as motor vehicles requiring licensing and registration.
With the school year starting, local officials and deputies are encouraging parents to talk to their children about safe riding habits and traffic laws.
Grey is asking every family to make helmets a required part of every ride.
