If it is, is the law enforced?

Answer
It doesn't matter if riding a bicycle without a helmet is legal or illegal in New York City. It's stupid. Even if you are the best rider in the world, someone else's stupidity, carelessness, or inattention can cause you to go down. In any collision with an automobile, the bicycle rider always loses. Your helmet will help to keep your brains from being the topping on a street pizza.

What should I get my bicycle enthusiast boy friend for Christmas?

He's 20 years old and we live in nyc. He rides single speed or fixed gear or something like that (I don't know much about bikes) I'm already getting him some new bike shoes, but I'm having trouble thinking of other things.

Answer
Shoes is a perfect idea. You could get him a helmet depending on the one he has he might want to upgrade. Maybe he would want a jersey from his favorite team. You could get him some gloves or if he likes fixing bikes he would like a Park Tool multi tool kit. Because of the time of year he might want arm and/or leg warmers . Hope this helps.
