It was no biggy I kinda understood it was in my best interest anyway so I bought one and yes it did its job and saved my life.

But Should It Be A Law... Come on man... Don't we have enough laws?

Your helmet is just another piece of equipment. Do you ride your bike bare footed? Or without a tire pump or tool kit. When was the last time you saw someone ridding trail without tick clothing or a cell phone.

I wear a helmet because I choose to and for many years I chose not to.

Come on man... Don't we have enough laws?

Whats next? And you know its coming...

Mandatory Helmet...
Mandatory bicycle licensing...
Mandatory bicycle driving permitting...
Mandatory liability insurance...
Mandatory propriety maintenance and repair...
And all in the best interest of the collective...

Come on man... Don't we have enough laws?

Mandatory bicycle helmet for adults = NO (but you wont catch me on my bike not wearing one)
