Helmet Law Debate
LOBV's Patrick Goetz and Former Mayor Bruce Todd squared off at the The Dionysium event on August 1 at the Alamo Drafthouse South to debate the mandatory bicycle helmet law for adults, and Goetz's arguments won over the crowd, which voted to oppose the proposed ordinance.
Goetz, a member of the Urban Transportation Commission and co-founder of The League of Bicycling Voters, highlighted an impressive collection of statistics showing that more bicyclists and safer roads are the key to greater safety.
LOBV members also handed out fliers and collected petition signatures to educate the crowd.
