Earlier today, the Ontario legislature passed a motion Thursday to make helmets mandatory for cyclists of all ages?
Read the MPPs' doublespeak in the Hansard record.
See Citizens for Safe Cycling's letter opposing this action here, and a very strong argument against mandatory helmet laws.
Technically, the motion didn't cause helmets to be mandatory; only to call on the government to remove the exemption of those 18 and over, so there is still a slight chance.
Mandatory hemlet laws act as a barrier to cycling, are a tool for the police to pick on the poor, and distract from activities that actually make cycling safer.
