YCT Nay. Passage of bill to require children under the age of 18 to wear a bicycle helmet when riding on streets and roadways or be fined. This bill allows for unnecessary government invasion of individual liberties. Bicycling organizations and retail stores and shops are doing a very good job of fostering awareness of wearing bicycle helmets.
