Hold on, let me check.Gnejs wrote:I think you're being a little unfair, Trotterdam. You're basing all that on a pretty narrow reading of option 2. "Helmets are for losers" is a fairly vague and ambiguous foundation for a policy decision; what's to say you're not about to completely ban helmets for everyone in the name of style?
