I am no fan of him, but it’s his call whether or not to wear a helmet.... he should tell the groups to stuff it... Besides, if he were seriously injured, his ObamaCare mentors will discuss with him quality of life and how he has the option to end it all.

Gotta side with Zero on this one: those helmets are dorky, and I’d rather die with some dignity than live wearing one of them.

These moaning do-gooders kicked off about a statue in a Cincinnati suburb (i.e., inanimate representations of humans made out of bronze) featuring kids riding bikes. There was an expression of exhilaration on their faces but - HORRORS - the sculptor omitted helmets!
Perhaps the most annoying aspect of the Safety Nazis is their naked opportunism: a president, a celebrity, a film, a TV show are there simply to serve as set pieces for their control freakery.

Anyone know how many head injuries are suffered when not on some kind of wheels, like walking and slipping on something or having someone else run into you?

it would have been better if Obama had worn his helmet, but cut him a little slack. Slack is for taking up, not for giving out.
And this guy is a champion turd-slacker.

Don’t the health care advocates (Nazis) scream about the “idiots” on the motorcycle and wreck being a burden on our current health care system? Well, “that ONE” is who they are talking about.

Last year during the campaign, Obama became the target of ridicule on the Internet when he was photographed riding with a helmet in Chicago.Because he was wearing his helmet BACKWARDS, duh!

” Bicycles up and turn over by themselves “
There ought to be a special circle in Hell for people who utter this kind of inane stupidity in public....

"Most bike accidents just happen. Bicycles up and turn over by themselves,"
Wow! Is this a recent development? This should be headline news at every science convention in the world! We're gonna need millions in grant money to study this "up-and-turn-over" phenomenon! /s
Sheesh. Is this how helmet laws got passed?

Oh, and don’t wear one either since I pay for my own health care coverage.

Look at this droky-looking guy and his friends!

Unfortunately, I have to side with the Obamessiah on this one.
He should tell these people to kiss his bicycle seat.

Has anybody checked on where this picture was taken?? He may very well be in violation of a local ordinance...
If so, would it rise to the level of ‘high crimes and *misdemeanors*??
