Oh PLEASE

Grand Rapids is discussing making bicycle helmets mandatory.

I suppose next we'll have to wear knee pads and elbow pads when we shower? Or a neck brace for walking up and down stairs?

I wear a helmet when I ride on busy streets. But I think I'm able to determine for myself that it's safe to ride in a quiet park without bubble wrap.

Dumb!

Not only on the street, but when I was a home health nurse in California, Medicare was starting to tell people they HAD to have grab bars in the bathroom and handrails on the stairs. A few people just had us leave rather than be told what to do.
