Certainly, I'd agree that we definitely have more government in our lives these days, but I don't necessarily believe that the "loss of some freedom" inevitably leads to a "loss of all freedom." I just haven't seen that happen. Yet.
Aren't we arguing against something we both believe works (helmet use is good) because of the possibility of an unintended consequence (government bans on bikes) that we have no realistic expectation will ever occur?
I don't buy the argument that mandatory helmet laws will result in a loss of freedom -- in fact, I'd argue that lower death statistics will preserve it.
Ding Ding Ding!
