Answer 9

Heres the Maryland law......

Any child old enough to pedal a bike or ride with you in a bike child seat needs a helmet. Maryland law now requires anyone younger than 16 to wear a helmet when riding a bicycle.

Be sure the two-wheelers you buy properly fit your child or they'll find them difficult to control. The CPSC recommends that children younger than 6 ride a bike only under adult supervision. Children younger than 9 lack the skills to avoid dangerous traffic situations and should stay away from streets.

Skateboards and in-line skates can also be hazardous, especially if children don't wear helmets and other protective equipment. Be sure to supply safety equipment with the bike, skateboard or skates and insist they be worn.

Answer 12

you always have to wear a helmet no matter what age you are. That is the safety regulation placed upon the entire nation. However, you could chose not to wear one, but then when you hit you head against the pavement you'll regret it.

Answer 13

Even if the law says you do not need a helmet, please consider wearing one. Most people don't know that a preponderance of organ donors are people with severe brain injuries--many from motorcycle and bicycle accidents.

In fact, when my friend had a liver transplant, the doctor told us that so many organs come from the brain-injured, that donors are sometimes referred to as donor-cyclists.
