Helmet rule likely to go on Bexley's books - Columbus Local News
By LAURA ENGLEHART
Bexley city officials are expected to impose a new law next week that would fine parents if their children are riding a bicycle in Bexley without a helmet, but not all officials agree they should intervene.
The city proposed an amendment last month to its bicycle and motorcycle laws that would require children under 16 to wear a helmet while operating a bicycle on a city street, sidewalk or alley.
Parents of children caught riding without a helmet would pay a $25 fine; however, the offense would not be considered criminal, according to the proposal.
City Council is scheduled to vote on the proposed amendment at its Tuesday, July 27 meeting with a unanimous recommendation from Safety Committee members to approve the new rules.

Bikes and Cars: A Lesson in Los Angeles - NYT
Bikes and Cars: A Lesson in Los Angeles
By JOHN COLLINS RUDOLF
Attending the Copenhagen climate conference last December, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa of Los Angeles had a revelation: his own city needed to do more to promote bicycling as a clean form of transportation.
“I’ll tell you what I came away with: that in the area of bicycling, I’ve got to do a better job and the city’s got to do a better job,” Mr. Villaraigosa told Southern California Public Radio.
Last weekend, however, the mayor learned a tough lesson about urban cycling firsthand: cars and bikes don’t mix.
