I see this so much and don't understand it. I see people on bicycles wearing a helmet, on horseback wearing a helmet, but seldom see anyone on a motorcycle wearing one. Tonight I saw a fellow about 60 and his helmet was all by itself behind him. I see couple on motorcycles wearing little clothing and sandals and no helmets. I remember motorcycle drivers used to wear leather jackets, boots & helmets. Why aren't helmets mandatory anymore?
Pat aka Lady Luck - It is surprising to me when a doctor says helmets should be illegal. Why not motorcycles be illegal as that is the reason people are left in the condition they remain. Trusting people around you who are protected in vehicles is ridiculous when you have no control on a motorcycle of how protected you are. I don't understand why it is not mandatory everywhere that you do what is possible to protect your safety.

I honestly don't know why anyone would ride without a helmet or proper clothing.
As a 12 year old girl, I used to ride on the back of my step-father Harley and I can tell you it can be rather frightening to see the pavement so close to your body at over 70 miles an hour.
I suppose some people just know your chances of survival if hurt going so fast are pretty slim at best so they just prefer to throw caution to the wind.
I know that in two cases I know of personally a helmet saved a life and could of saved another in the long run.
My parents rode around all day on a sunny beautiful day in S. Cal. back in the late 60's without their helmets on.
They took a short break and my mother said she thought they should put their helmets on for the rest of their ride.
About 2 min. later, a fast moving car cut in front of them and my step-father and mom flew over the car and dad landed face first on the pavement with the bike and my mom following on top of him.
He was injured badly but the helmet saved his life.( broken nose and shoulder)
A close family friend was only 20 and not wearing a helmet in the early 70's.
He was stopped at a red light when a car hit him from behind and he flew and hit his head on the concrete road divider.
His skull was fracutured and his under went brain surgery and had a plate put in his head.
His whole personality changed and about 18 months after his accident he shot himself in the head leaving his new bride and baby alone.
Found out the change in him was from a tumor growing under the plate.
Very scary stuff.
My parents sold all 3 of the bikes after their accident and never rode again.
I know most US states require helmets and here in Europe it is the law to wear one.

When operating a bicycle in California (LA) do you need to wear a bike helmet?
LACES OUT!
what are the restrictions if any???
Answer
Laces
If you are under 18 it is mandatory. If you are over it is optional. Where I live in in So Ca;, literally everyone wears a helmet. When I see someone not wearing a helmet I see a noob, who just does not get it....
