I don't see motorist fighting seatbelt laws? Or airbag safety features? Actually we see an uptick in safety features in automobiles. Special

We're talking specifically about helmets. It makes no sense to talk about bicyclist head injuries and ignore the elephant in the room.

I haven't rode a bicycle since I was a teen what's the elephant in the room?

That's the problem -- everyone keeps thinking of their time riding as kids when they needed helmets. Good idea, sure, but mostly scapegoat.

I'm just shocked bicyclists want their right to brain trauma I was over here thinking they wanted to be safe riding busy NYC streets?

So yeah. It seems totally ridiculous to oppose this law. But the problem is it really just discourages cycling w/o making it safer.

Can’t we do all of the above? Enforce helmets for adults, wider protected bike lanes, enforce traffic laws.
