You find reasons why cyclists do not need to wear helmets. Yet you imply pedestrians should wear helmets to protect them.My sister was 56 years old (not a senior citizen) when she fell off her bike on a protected bike path when she made a short stop to avoid a collision with a nine-year old cyclist. She was in a coma for seven years until she died. I really wish she was wearing a helmet. She might be alive today. So don't give me reasons why cyclists should not wear helmets. Are you also going to defend cyclists who ride at night wearing dark non reflective clothing because the law doesn't require it? How about those who ride without headlights and reflectors at night and do not have a horn or whistle? If a driver can't see hm because of that, is the driver still guilty and the cyclist still innocent? How far will your defense of cyclists go? |
