Mandatory Bicycle Helmet Laws

[Dawgs]

9. Anyone that doesn't wear a helmet while biking is dumb.

I have no problems with laws that protect people from themselves, but they shouldn't be necessary because it's just stupid not to wear a helmet.

I see it all of the time. Older folks don't wear helmets in GA. I guess they think that since they didn't need it when they were kids that they don't need it now. Or maybe because they think it looks goofy.

I see them and think they look like idiots.

I had an experience when I was ten that put me in the hospital for two days. It could have been avoided if people wore helmets in the 70s/80s.

I have a friend that just visited a girl who was training for a triathlon. She crashed and ended up in intensive care because she wasn't wearing a helmet.

I bike daily and would never consider riding without a helmet.

Maybe the answer is to pass one law against stupidity.
