My family all ride. I want them safe, I want the best examples for the children in my family as they grow up riding. I almost lost my brother and his gf to an accident 10 yrs ago. In hospital and rehab for a few months. Their lives were saved by his fast response and their helmets.

It's self explanatory. Why risk becoming disabled and burdening your family for a lifetime?

The survival rate is higher, if in an accident, with a helmet on. Drivers are distracted, and motorcycles aren't on their radar. A helmet may be the one chance a motorcycle list has to survive, and sustain less of a permanent brain injury.

Yet you have no problem with millions of Missouri tax dollars being spent on a new football stadium at the Univeristy of Missouri so you Columbia Mo laptop liberals and calculator communists can worship at the false alter of UM Sports like the faithful little Marxist’s you are

It should be a personal choice. But no public dollars should be spent on brain injured people who chose not to wear helmets.

The fact there is not already one or any attempt at common sense enforcement speaks volumes in it's own right. Maybe we need another department and a 10 year study.......

We used to have government funded mental institutions that would have handled this, but Reagan handed this off to the states who didn't have the money to continue funding.

If the City passes this, the homeless will not go away. They will move into the surrounding neighborhoods. Your children will step over the homeless as they walk to school and you will hear screaming all night long..
