Default B.A.H. No H*lmet Mother's Day

In order ot honor our mothers who taught us to make wise choices, B.A.
H. (Bicyclists Against Helmets) is urging all cyclists to ride without
helmets this weekend. You are old enough to choose for yourself and
you must not allows others to tell you how to raise your children.
Helmet laws do nothing but infringe on our rights.

No, it's some kind of troll. It comes around every year. Please
don't feed the troll.

The troll even misspelled "helmet" to get past newsreader filters.

Yeah, I didn't even notice the intentional misspelling. That says it all.
Also, it went out to a bunch of cycle groups.

Pure trolling.

Trolling ? If you say so. I'd rather "provocative", and I kind of like it.

Another mentalmidget checks in. Put up or shut up, let's see a picture
of you and your mom bombing down some decent trail and her without her
helmet, or better yet, your kid helmetless behind you in city street
traffic, rush hour.

The name is probably blacklisted on some widespread ISP list, so he
had to change it.

And I'm old enough to not let you tell me NOT to wear a helmet, if I choose to
do so.

Are you saying that a helmetless kid negotiating rush hour traffic is
unacceptably dangerous, but it becomes acceptable if you slap a foam
hat on him/her? I guess mentalmidget is too kind.

I can just imagine the conversations at you home:
"Dad, I'm gonna go ride my bike off the roof."
"That's nice, Junior, but don't forget your helmet."
