Re: Re: Bike Helmets

Tom, you don’t have to go all the way to Florida to ride with the wind in your hair: Pennsylvania also has a “no-helmet law” for motorcycles. Although this is not so special in and of itself, what’s amazing is that there was a mandatory helmet law in PA, but it was modified after 35 years on the books to make it so that most motorcyclists are not required to wear helmets. It gives hope that PA may someday revise its arcane liquor laws, but then I remember that PA has a strong union that is made up mostly of public-sector employees – and unionized state employees are the ones selling liquor.
