New Helmet Law protest ride, from Beaver Bar – Freedom Ride – Myrtle Beach Bike Week
We are leaving the Beaver Bar reading to ride through the City of Myrtle Beach.
This was a ride that was put together by local bikers in protest of new helmet law. Myrtle Beach passed 15 different new laws Feb 28th, 2009. The mandatory helmet law is the one most people are not agreeing with since the state of SC doesn’t require one unless under the age of 21.

Sue fights bike helmets
By the way, if you want to see what happened in court to sue, recently, Go to the sequel, No Helmet, Please.
It all began when Sue Abbott got a ticket for not wearing a bike helmet. That’s breaking the law in Australia. Instead of paying the small fine, she’s going to court at the end of this month, Sept.
She believes that helmets are dangerous for her. I was intrigued by her opinion and made this video to explore the issue.
Helmets are a hot issue in Australia and elsewhere. I came off my bike once and credit my helmet with saving my face from being scraped.
On the other hand, I’m impressed that in Europe, it’s optional and most people don’t wear them. The head injury rate is less than here, I believe.
I was attracted to Sue’s story for another reason as well. She looks so good, sitting upright on her bike. i was immediately reminded of the superb figures, cyclists, both male and female, cut in Europe.
Go to the famous Danish bike blogs, Copenhagenise.com and Copenhangen Cycle Chic to see what I mean. (some of the photos in my film come from those blogs)
Nobody here seems to be aware of the beauty of the upright cyclist, I call it the open face posiiton because the rider’s face is open for communication with passing motorists , fellow cyclists, pedestrians, anyone.
Immediately, the cyclist appears as a much friendlier person, and I suspect , much less apt to be a victim of the anger, road rage, so often directed at Australian cyclists today.
Indeed I’ve started a blog called; And So To bike, which argues that we must come to this friendly open position to acheive safer cycling. Have a look at the blog if the topic interests you.

This leads to my belief threat most important safety features for cycling as separated bikeways to keep other traffic and bikes separate, and education for drivers.
Both of those were recommended to our Government yeas ago but, not wanting to spend money, they only implemented the helmet recommendation.
The stills in the middle of the film come from the superb Danish bike blog. Copenhagenize.com. Go visit to see how attractive and free cycling can be. Don’t miss the companion blog either copenhagen cycle chic with even more stunning photos.
