I noticed two years ago almost everyone wasn't wearing a Helmet on bikes, now it seems Like I see everyone wearing helmets. I came back from winter Haven yesterday and saw 30 bikes and only one was lidless. Is ther some new change in the law that has changed peoples attitude? May be a dumb question but, I have not heard of any change in the law.
You will see that in the winter. Some hard core types will still ride without a lid
no matter how cold it is. I have a buddy of mine who is like that. It cracks me
up when we stop and his face is so frozen he can't talk.
I ride in Fla and I just started to wear a 1/2 helmet.. I'm starting to see just too many idiots driving on the roads. I'm starting to see that trend myself though
Yep.. on club rides, long rides and interstate rides I wear my Seer. but for local jaunts around town I usually don't..
Even at 53 I want to keep my brains in my bucket.. Then there's the younger girlfriend.. She has the NO helmet mentality.. But I make her wear it on those rides..
I live and ride a lots in Central Florida and I have noticed not difference. I've just returned from the Leesburg Bike Fest and probably 90% were lidless. And no, I don't wear one.
