I had no idea there was a big backing for bike helmet mandates in the us.

I hope the ebike boom doesn't push this idea further and fuck it up for everybody else.

Helmets are pretty functional. They do lesson impacts significantly. They have saved many lives.

Requiring them is wrong.

We should ban the dangerous thing not require the life vest.
