Mandatory Bicycle Helmet Laws

[Sans__Culottes]

99. I believe I've already mentioned

that I won't ride a bike or motorcycle because of the danger inherent to those vehicles; hence, my brains are in little danger of ending up on the pavement.

So, support any intrusive laws you like to protect me from myself, I'll do you one better by keeping my ass off 2-wheeled vehicles.


I really don't understand your ire. You seem to think I've attacked you personally because you exhibit good common sense. On the contrary, I applaud you for it. I believe that you'd wear a helmet even if you did not need to obey a nanny-government. Because it makes sense.

You've certainly misread my posts since you seem to believe I'm one of those Hair-In-The-Wind daredevils.

I'll rephrase so you won't misconstrue my remarks again:

2WHEELS BAD, 4WHEELS GOOD!

That's just for me, BTW. You can risk your elbows/knees/spine all you want & I just don't give a rat's ass. (Not sure how your helmet protects you from spinal injuries, but as long as the government protects your noggin for you. Perhaps they should mandate gloves/knee & elbow pads/kevlar jackets/spine-armor, too?)

What are your views on bungee/base jumpers? Should those pursuits be outlawed because there's a possibility of head injury?

Rock-climbers. I know of no law requiring them to wear helmets, yet I've never seen one on the discovery channel Sans Chapeau. Apparently there's no need for such a law.


Do you think that there should be laws prohibiting Russian Roulette because otherwise folks might be putting guns to their heads all across this great nation?

There's all sorts of risky behavior out their that isn't being regulated; what's wrong with our government? They should give me a ticket if I decide to rest my forehead on the bore of a three-eight!

Cops should be allowed to look in my bedroom window to make sure I'm not smoking in bed!

Enough of this.
