But board member and King County Councilmember Joe McDermott said there are other ways of encouraging helmet use that do not rely on law enforcement, including educational campaigns and free helmet distribution.
another option is just personal responsibility without govt, which has more important things to do. On the other hand, if they focus on this, they aren’t doing great damage in other places.

Repeal safety laws, because “social justice”. LOL!
Let’s make heroine legal too, because arresting dealers and users disproportionately targets “vulnerable minorities”.

Great news, but for the wrong reason. This opens a window to get rid of lots of annoying laws - minorities hit hardest.
I always wear a helmet and wrist guards when I rollerblade. But don't pass a law requiring it.

I was a member of the Cascade bicycle club back when I lived in the Seattle area. I got into it with the president of the club about this law. I was as against it as I am against seat belt laws. By all means people should wear seat belts and should wear bicycle helmets, but making them arbitrary laws is just insulting to people who claim to be in a free nation. For the record, I feel the same way about motorcycle helmet laws. Interestingly, I now live in a state where we are not required to wear helmets, yet most people on the freeway do.

Gee could be another example of a certain group of folks saying f*ck the police? And not complying with the law and committing the “crime” at a higher rate than other races despite being a smaller slice of the population? Like murder?

Since blacks make up 14% of the population but commit 50% of the murders, we need to get rid of laws against murder. It disproportionately affects people of color.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Well, you can make the same argument for seat belts too!
To: Oldeconomybuyer
enforcement has been both minimal and disproportionate toward people of color and those experiencing homelessness.
So, does that mean riding a bike with a helmet is racist, or is it riding a bike without?
Or, is it inequity that homeless or people of color typically ride bikes to a lesser extent? Perhaps the city needs to provide free bikes to people of color and the homeless, or do they consider bikes available in the various snatch-and-grabs that go unprosecuted?
Being a leftist/liberal trying to run the world is hard work. I get a headache just trying to understand how their minds work.

Helmet laws are, and always were, a bad idea in the totalitarian government relm.
