Toronto & GTA Bicycle helmets, licensing pushed
If cyclists are a city council priority on Toronto's streets, Councillor Michael Walker wants to see those cyclists wearing a helmet and licensed to ride on the road. Here we go! It didn't take long for the concept of licensing bikes, e-bikes and anything else on wheels to get the politician's attention. http://www.torontosun...  http://network.nation...

Bike helmets a 'no-brainer'
-The South Bruce OPP would like to remind cyclists about the requirement to wear a helmet when riding. On Oct. 1, 1995, bike helmets became mandatory for riders under 18 to promote safe cycling. http://www.thepost.on... |

Whether biking, skateboarding or rollerblading, adults and youth should obey the rules of the road and wear a properly fitting helmet. http://www.wickedloca... |

 "A walking helmet is a good helmet" "Traffic safety isn't just for cyclists. The pedestrians of Denmark actually have a higher risk of head injury. The Danish Road Safety Council recommends walking helmets for pedestrians and other good folk in high risk groups." |

Hehe... YES you need a bear suit for safety! This video illustrates well the dangers of biking:
As a bear minimum (hehe) elbow pads and knee pads... oh, and for the guys, ya really should wear a jock strap... Ya can't be TOO careful... can ya? Lock |

...while my understanding about the pedal-bike helmets w/"features" is that they can catch on the pavement causing more *neck* injuries...
Dunno if you were sporting your "biker" persona in 2001 Joshua but if you had been an attractive young woman your experience w/folks stopping to help might have been different. Myself, I carry a large pack of counterfeit $20 bills to scatter across the road if I EVer need to stop traffic... Lock |
