Helmet laws???

Searching the internet, I found this much information:

231. A bicycle is a device upon which any person may ride,
propelled exclusively by human power through a belt, chain, or gears,
and having one or more wheels. Persons riding bicycles are subject
to the provisions of this code specified in Sections 21200 and
21200.5.



This is what the new law will probably say:


231. A bicycle is a device upon which any person may ride, propelled
exclusively by human power and having one or more wheels. Persons
riding bicycles are subject to the provisions of this code specified in
Sections 21200 and 21200.5.


We (unicyclists) need to be careful about observing the spirit/intent
of the laws or we will get classified as bicycles and I don't think we
want that.

The question is not if you HAVE to wear a helmet but, SHOULD you wear a
helmet.

Here is a simple solution. Get a ticket, fight it, and let us know how
it works out. Anything else is purely an academic exercise.

-Good luck

new helmet will cost less than the lawyer fees to fight the ticket,
whether you're in the right or not. Or move somewhere which respects
you enough as citizens to let you make your own choices on such things.

FWIW, in PA, pedalcycle is defined as a vehicle operated solely by human
pedalling (no mention of gears or chains or anything specific).
Helmets mandatory for 12 and under.

See chapter 31 he
http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/vehicle_code/index.shtml (search for
"pedalcycle," the document is really long)
