   1. Motorbikes are a wee bit faster and heavier than bicycles. With this comes more danger.
   2. Motorbikers are not the most vulnerable road users.
   3. Motorbikes often have a lockable container to put the helmet.

   4. Don't you dare to call my arguments "stupid" - I've won way too many arguments regarding this very topic to know they are NOT. Calling them out as "stupid" without any specifics: that's blatantly lazy however. And not the kind of "discussion" I tend to engage in.

     @bikejourno with this kind of stupid arguments, you should not wear an helmet for motorbikes neither.... And that would be fucking!

     Non-cyclists clearly do not understand that mandatory helmet laws are NOT a matter of vanity or keeping your hair style intact (my "hair style" is non-existent, as everyone familiar with the real world me certainly knows).
     These kind of laws that put the onus on the most vulnerable in #traffic are fundamentally wrong. These laws attempt to reduce unnecessary damage while painting an efficient and healthy mode of #transport as dangerous.
     These kind of laws hurt #cycling as such.
