Hey everyone, I am just wondering if it's against the law to not wear a helmet when riding a bike? I was at Canadian Tire and Wal Mart looking at bikes and I saw signs everywhere saying "Don't forget to wear a helmet!". The thing is, I have been riding bikes without a helmet ever since i was 14. None of my friends wore helmets and the cops have never bothered us or me about not wearing a helmet for 8 years now.
I know helmets do equal safety, but they look really weird and i find them uncomfortable. I usually gel my hair and style it in a way that looks good, mostly because I ride my bike to the mall and stuff and i dont want to have helmet head and look like an idiot. Even during when I bike, i see a lot of girls and I obviously want to look good and not have this helmet on my head.
Please people look at what I said and don't just snap at me saying "Wear your helmet, its bad if you dont!", cmon be down to earth and chill. Honestly, how many young people do you see wearing a helmet, and don't lie either. I see so many people that are 14-25, and 80% don't wear helmets.
