It's a choice here, so long as you have your license and not a permit. I have mixed emotions about it, I suppose. I live and let live, but would probably wear one these days...especially on the interstate, even though I would probably die anyway out there.
Dude, the best part of that pic...it was the first thing I noticed....the APRON!!! Hilarious! Who ever really sees an apron wearing momma on a bike? Awesome :)
