Mandatory Bicycle Helmet Law

I don't like the fact that Creve Coeur's "Mandatory Bicycle Helmet" law is more restrictive than our neighboring municipalities.  Most mandatory bicycle-helmet laws nationwide are "Under 17", and Creve Coeur's is "All Ages".  Allowing adults to make decisions in regard to their own bicycle safety is just a small step in avoiding "nanny-state" policies.

Aside from Town & Country, our neighbors are all in the "under 17" category.
