In what world does this make sense? You can ride a motorcycle without a helmet in the Nutmeg State if you’re the right age, but never an e-bike.

Believe it or not, the helmet debate continues to rage on to this day (amongst cyclists anyways) with both sides making compelling arguments.
I think for those in the anti-helmet crowd, their strongest arguments are that helmets may disincentivize people from riding, and that resources and focus is better spent on improving infrastructure and lowering speed limits.
As for me, I’ve gotten a concussion even while wearing a helmet and I hate to think what the outcome would have been if I weren’t in the pro-helmet crowd.
I wasn’t talking really about the law, as long as they don’t ban helmets I don’t care. The anti-helmets might have a point tho, if the helmets are what’s keeping these idiots from getting out of the car and onto a(n e-)bike just let them ride without it, it’s a win-win-win situation and spending resources trying to avoid it doesn’t seem very smart. In the other hand, where I live is the other way around, illegal for motorbikes and mopeds but legal for bikes and scooters, but we have a public health system and I think if everyone is gonna have to pay for either brain surgery or a pack of ibuprofen a dumb personal decision can become a collective burden, so mandating helmets can make more sense. Idrk.
Glad you listened to the calls of brain to protect it! Helmets are cool.
