It is funny how people are. No kid wore a helmet riding bikes when I was a kid either, now I think a parent could get arrested for that.
That's my biggest gripe about the aggressive helmet promotors. It wasn't till that old man in spandex:), hollered at me to put on a helmet when I was riding a bike that I'd had enough:)
I'm afraid it will come to mandatory helmets using public bike trails, streets, and sidewalks. The goverment should not interfer in those decisions. IMO:)
