After seeing her picture, I’d definitely insist on wearing a helmet with hair like that.

Yes. Before I got my motorcycle(s), I rode a bicycle to and from work and never wore a helmet. ;-)

And when a lady turned her car left in front of me, I hurt my thigh bashing into her fender, but not my head.

Some insurance adjuster followed me around for two days insisting that I sign some waiver or other about not suing the woman.
I told him that my word is my bond, and I would never sue her because it was an accident, and I already fixed my bike anyway.

I agree it is no business of the State.

Plastic surgery has never entered my mind. I’m growing old and wrinkly as gracefully as I am
able. I just wish my hair would hurry up and turn all the way white. I don’t like this gray stuff.

White hair is lovely. Mr. T has white hair.

it’s clear she has no brains to protect, she can ride without one. any woman who takes hairstyles over helmets - if they crack their head open, the world hasn’t lost any geniuses, that’s for damn sure.

There’s no way that the State should mandate helmets for riding a bicycle. Sounds like a stupid law that should be repealed. Here in America, now, we have the right to ignore laws we disagree with, as shown by some of our top public servants.

And she's been trying to make her point -which has nothing to do with sexism or racism - for 5 years

Compulsory helmet wearing enforced by the nanny state is just another ding against liberty that is tolerated by “civil” societies, you know, like being disarmed.

It’s for your own good, you know.

I’m against bike helmets because it is a choice I make if I wear a helmet. (I do during the ride to work, weekends no...)
