Safe cycling requires a good bike, surface conditions, biking skills and a helmet. Why would some who want the first 2 (or 3?) conditions make fun of the 4th? My boys wear theirs all the time-and ride defensively. We should show only riders wearing helmets and encourage children to wear theirs--it's the law where I live.I value protecting my skull--but I have a lot at stake in my happy little life. I hope you do in your happy little skull-- and life.

But here is my question..why do you care as to wheather or not we wear helments?? Jua=st go about your happy little lives and we will do the same. That annoys me so much sometimes I swear.

Do you believe that society and the state have no say at all in your/our collective safety or do you think that's just a part of the nanny society? Most serious cyclists wear helmets and so do their children which is the law in many places. On one level perhaps I should not care, but will you not become dependent on the rest of US as in me if you require constant medical attention for thirty years of vegetative existence?

...so why do you care if we wear helmets or not??

I am all for this, but, most of these cyclists do not even wear a helmet...

I'm all for this. It would certainly encourage more people to ride and it would get my mom to shut up about the dangers of riding my bike.

I wish every city would be like this...it would mean more trees more parking...Put trees up in the buffer with little crosswalks and trashcans. I don't even ride a bike!

FOUND on MAILING LIST: How does it get swept?, cleared of snow? It treats bicycles as non-vehicles and encourages the more dangerousseparated behavior over the integrated behavior. Reduced visibility at the most dangerous points, intersections (60%+ of allmotor vehicle/bicycle crashes.) Making safe left turns with traffic almost impossible. Under current State law, local jurisdictions could "require" bikes use them,even if the rider feels safe riding with traffic. (reply?) |
