Missing The Fiz-Sometimes
Well, I just read that here in Michigan, our mandatory helmet law is due to be repealed this Summer. Riders over 21 who take a safety class, or who have carried a cycle endorsement for more than two years will be able to ride without headgear. I would guess that this would most likely appeal to the, "cruiser crowd", but I'm sure that there will be some sport bike riders that take 'em up on the deal.
In general, what are the opinions here on this forum regarding mandatory gear requirements?
BTW, I guess I support the right to choose, though I have no plans on changing my own habits. A couple of Summers back, I caught a compressed pop can in the face (face mask that is) - it was roughly shaped like the blade of an electric edger. It could have been much worse without the helmet!
