Mandatory Bicycle Helmet Laws

[bhikkhu]

86. I'd support that in a second

...having grown up riding and having ridden all my life, the laws and expectations are second nature. But what I do see is a whole generation that has grown up without much experience riding, and without much of a clue where or how they're supposed to ride. I see grown people all the time riding like idiots or like little kids, or riding like idiots with little kids along - on the sidewalks, against traffic, wherever. All I can think is that they just have no idea at all...if they taught some of the basics in school, maybe?

Ironically, one of the reasons my daughters won't ride is because of the helmet laws - they "look silly and mess up you're hair"...but we're working on that now.
