 <span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, "Arial Unicode MS", Arimo, "Microsoft Sans serif", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;">Helmets, they are a controversial piece of riding equipment.</span><br />

<span id="E107" is="qowt-word-run" qowt-eid="E107" style="display: inline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In provinces like BC, Alberta, Manitoba and Ontario, many riders are feeling frustrated that they are forced to wear a helmet but those in the Sikh community can ride wearing only a turban. (By many accounts the turban is NOT a mandatory piece of “religious” gear, which fuels the frustration even more.)</span></div>

<span id="E111" is="qowt-word-run" qowt-eid="E111" style="display: inline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Whether you ascribe to wearing a helmet or not, you are required by law to wear one if you are not a Sikh.</span></div>

<span id="E115" is="qowt-word-run" qowt-eid="E115" style="display: inline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I personally have challenges with many helmets that come from the injuries to my neck and low back from a bad car crash.</span></div>
<div id="E116" is="qowt-word-para" qowt-eid="E116" qowt-entry="undefined" qowt-lvl="undefined" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, "Arial Unicode MS", Arimo, "Microsoft Sans serif", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.38; list-style-type: none; padding: 0px;">
<span id="E117" is="qowt-word-run" qowt-eid="E117" style="display: inline; white-space: pre-wrap;">In the past I had a prescription that was acknowledged by the RCMP to allow me to wear a beanie, it was written by my chiropractor and my medical doctor.  The weight of most helmets is too great for my neck to handle when you combine the wind and the weight.</span></div>
<div id="E118" is="qowt-word-para" qowt-eid="E118" qowt-entry="undefined" qowt-lvl="undefined" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, "Arial Unicode MS", Arimo, "Microsoft Sans serif", sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 1.38; list-style-type: none; padding: 0px;">

<span id="E121" is="qowt-word-run" qowt-eid="E121" style="display: inline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some helmets are like a sail the way they catch the wind.  Full face helmets, no matter how well built make me feel claustrophobic. I can’t breath and I start to panic. The full face helmets with the modular jaw are better, however, I find raising and lowering the helmets jaw distracting.  Part of the problem for me when it comes to either style of full face, I drink a lot of water while I am riding, and it’s a pain in the arse drinking with one of those helmets on.</span></div>

<span id="E125" is="qowt-word-run" qowt-eid="E125" style="display: inline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The older I get, the more I think about the vulnerability of riding and I realise that a beanie or half helmet doesn’t protect a person’s face, although that is what I have worn for years. In the past I have basically had to trade off safety for comfort. Lightweight helmets didn’t really exist when I started riding unless it was a beanie and we all know that a beanie only protects against too much sun on the head, and small road debris. The likelihood that a beanie will protect your brain is all but non-existent.</span></div>
