Here in Ohio, motercyclists (with a loud lobbying group) aren't required to have helmets, but my six-year-old bike riding daughter is. What's up with that?

You need to form your own loud lobbying group.

The argument goes that the motorcyclist is an adult and can make informed consent your six-year-old isn't and can't. I don't think it makes any sense either but that's were the logic is.

Your daughter, and your other children, if any, and your wife and you should be wearing a helmet when riding a bicycle! It isn't a matter of freedom or personal rights, it is a matter of life and death!

Sheesh!

WOW! I might be an Pri#k or something, but I always get this urge to push a kid off his bike when I see them riding with a helmet around the driveway.

Now I used to ride 3 to 4 hundred miles a week in my younger days so I understand there use.

But the driveway or Cul De Sac???

Tax me on my mileage and require your monitor on my car, and I will enter into open revolt. Go screw yourselves Gov't.

I think the issue with some motorcyclists is that the helmet can limit your hearing and your vision, thus making driving even more hazardous for them......that's what I've heard anyway...
