IIRC, you're somewhere in Ontario. There's virtually no talk
about mandatory helmet laws there specifically because a
group of cyclists - including one who used to post here -
successfully argued against them. You should thank those
cyclists for your freedom of choice.

BTW, a few years ago my wife and I did a driving and camping
trip to Cape Breton. While in a tiny town in New Brunswick,
on a zero-traffic Sunday evening, we rode our bikes a few
blocks to a restaurant and back. We were stopped on a
residential street by a local cop and told that helmets were
mandatory for all ages everywhere in Canada. She was wrong,
of course. Yes, they are mandatory for all ages in NB and we
knew that; but we didn't even bring them along.

You'd be subject to the same nonsense if not for people
you've argued against.


Indeed, in a related issue the winning phrase was, "Let
those who ride decide."
