Isn't it Saskatchewans responsibility to determine if this should be a law, and if it is, why hasn't this been done?
vancouver has a helmet bylaw as well, but it is'nt enforced (except on the bike messengers). Your average joe cyclist will never get stopped or ticketed, only the messengers get stopped (they have licence plates)
we also have the option to show a helmet receipt if we get a ticket. the ticket is scrapped if you have a helmet receipt. Most people just get a receipt for free from the bike shops.....lol
furthermore, as a Free-man On The Land, i dont consent to being governed by the laws, statutes and bylaws of the province or country.
