Finally, a new study showing outrageous disparities in who police target for bike tickets has brought the law up for potential repeal.
Here are a few good articles about this impressive change in attitude:
Crosscut - King County to reexamine decades-old bicyclist helmet law
Bicycle Retailer & Industry News - Cycling groups call for an end to helmet laws
Cascade Bicycle Club - Cascade and Washington Bikes Support Decriminalizing Helmet Use
Let’s keep an eye on this effort. If Seattle, and surrounding King County, repeal this of all bike helmet laws, some more dominos could fall. I’m cheering!
